When i am at work (very remote australia at rahter low level) i do always have 121.5 on standby plus the centre frequentie on the 1st screen or what ever you call it.
unfortunatly i am not sure wether anyone would hear me if i did put a maday call in since we sometimes operate out off any radio reach and HF could be hard to reach.
we just hope the ELT will work, we do have a company gps tracking device and a satelite switch we can activate wich will set the alarm bells off back at the office.
With your flight test mate, even with your PFL, do not stress!! you will be at plenty off hight to to calmly go over your cheks. and even talk tru them.
(i do wen i practise them)
good luck
