The northern North Sea is empty of aero signals but packed with maritime AIS, including all the service boats, platforms, bouys, and drilling rigs. If the Oil and Gas industry were to step forward and establish a helicopter band for similar tracking then it may be another small step forward in safety.
Even at one minute updates the search area is down to a strip 4000m long at helo cruise speeds which is not large by maritime search standards! And you usually have 121.5 locally anyway.
What do you think HC?
