3 hours to find the wreckage.
No tracking?
Probably wouldn’t have affected the outcome of those onboard had the site been located earlier...

It was being tracked, when the track stopped they notified the local SAR. The tracking is similar to AFF that USFS uses, you get the last location return, but just like the last radar track, it may not get you close enough to the wreckage in wooded or rugged terrain. BTDT.
