Problems in locating the lost helicopter (equipped with ELT) at dense forest.

Dear Friends,

Inspite of Helicopters fitted with Emergency location transmitter (either manual or automatic), why there is delay in finding the exact position of the lost helicopters?

For example- US marine helicopter lost recently in Nepal on May 13 2015 during the relief supply which was found only after two days (15th may).

What makes the delay for satellites to receive a distress signal?

Even though with the sophisticated communication & location finder instruments, what parameters make the delay to find the exact accident spot?

Awaiting for your replies.

Thank you in advance.

With regards,
Muralidharan.
