Questions on Survival Vests
As a former SAR pilot and RCC worker I was wondering if anyone can help with these questions regarding the survival vests worn by Irish CG crew:
What type survival beacon(s)/radios are carried in the vests?
I thought I saw on one posting that their survival beacon is a manual activation type; is that correct? Or is it an automatic type that activates upon immersion?
Is the inflatable part of the vest equipped with an AIS Man Overboard type beacon that activates upon inflation?
Replies to the thread ok with me or you can send it privately to me.
My condolences to all; especially to the families.
