cws:
I flew three hours behind the AF on that day and never even heared one blip on 121.5. My question as a non Airbuspilot, isnt there a elt installed that radiates on impact/certain g-loads? If so, Boeing A/C have them, at least a few ELT Blips should have been heared/picked up by me and other A/C in the vicinity. Can you shed some light on this?
Hi,
Did you read in the interim report that they have recovered one AF447's ELT intact?...It was off.
They got three on board, and I guess, at least two in the cockpit with other survival equipment, but they are not automaticaly emitting "on impact". They have to be switched ON manualy. Are you sure yours are automaticaly working in this case?
