🔍 Key Concepts

• EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) functions: alerting vs. homing • Difference between satellite frequencies (406 MHz) and homing/search frequencies (121.5 MHz) • What nearby search and rescue units (SRUs) practically use to home in on a distress position

💭 Think About

• Which device or signal is designed so that aircraft or rescue boats nearby can direction-find on it and home in accurately? • Is the main purpose of a 406 MHz satellite EPIRB signal to help satellites detect you globally, or to provide a local homing signal for units already in the area? • Think about what type of signal direction-finding (DF) equipment on SAR aircraft and vessels is normally tuned to when closing in on a casualty.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option provides a continuous or trackable radio signal specifically intended for direction finding/homing by nearby SAR units. • Distinguish between alerting the system via satellite and guiding rescue units in the final approach. • Confirm which frequencies (406 MHz vs. 121.5 MHz vs. visual signals) are primarily used for global detection versus local homing.
