A guide to the emergency transmitters to find survivors

The aircraft accidents that occur leave survivors that can be found with the help of emergency transmitters. These devices have been designed so that it can transmit a distress signal to a certain frequency. The pilot will become alert and then they can take proper step and save their and others lives.

Features

The Emergency transmitter detection system that is introduced is mainly for the aircraft. It is equipped with this system for transmitting the emergency frequencies. It has a self controlled locator that it is triggered by a severe impact. This happens when the effect is almost parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The intention was to use the 1215 MHz frequency so that the aircraft is alert. It is basically a satellite based monitoring system that was implemented so that the distress signals can be detected in a better way.

The important thing is that:

• The batteries need to be replaced with a new one almost every hour. It has to be checked when at least 50% of the usable life has almost been expired.
• The expiry date for replacing the battery should be mentioned on the outside of the transmitter. This is then entered into the maintenance record of the aircraft.
• The professional experts must inspect the Emergency transmitter detection system at least once in every year. The testing is done within five minutes after every hour only. It is also not possible to transmit not more than three audible sweeps.
• The testing should obviously is done with the instructions of the manufacturer.

The new technologies that are used with satellite communication have made the products that are used for both distress and alerting. If there is a crash or loss of signal from the aircraft, then the transmitter would trigger the distress call. The aircraft owners use them as safety enhancement. The technologies and services are constantly being monitored to make it more effective.
