THE new Fastfind Plus Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is a hand-held featuring a built-in GPS receiver. If activated in an emergency, its signal will alert rescue services and provide important ID information.
Unlike an ELT which is fixed to the plane, the FastFind PLB is registered to an individual and should be carried personally. You can also register your flying school or plane syndicate and if you register your ATC number where you normally lodge your flight plan for over water flights, this will speed up the time in which you can be located and identified.
