PLBs for Aviation
PLBs
Personal Locator Beacons give truly global satellite coverage for sending distress messages, with no air-time or call charges.
In addition to the aircraft’s ELT, or maybe as an alternative in smaller aircraft, a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) offers the benefits of truly global satellite coverage for sending distress messages, with no air-time or call charges.
Kannad Aviation PLBs have built-in GPS, so within minutes of manually activating the beacon the rescue authorities know about you and can be on the way to your rescue.
Built-in GPS takes the ‘search’ out of ‘search and rescue’ reducing the 28 sq mile search area of a non-GPS beacon to a pinpoint.
