🔍 Key Concepts

• EPIRB functions and limitations – what an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon is actually designed to do • Visual distress signals – when and why you use flares, mirrors, smoke, etc., especially when a search unit is already nearby • Best way to help a searching aircraft locate you quickly once it’s in your vicinity

💭 Think About

• Think about what an EPIRB can and cannot do: does it normally have voice capability, or is it mainly an automatic locator beacon? • If an aircraft is already in the search area because of your beacon, what additional action can you take that is immediately obvious to the aircrew’s eyes? • Which option combines electronic locating with something that confirms your exact position at that moment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that describes capabilities an EPIRB does not normally have (consider standard GMDSS EPIRBs). • Ask which action would make you most visible to the aircraft crew right now, given they may be several miles away and at altitude. • Confirm which method is recommended training‑wise: EPIRB for alerting and coarse position, plus what for final, close‑in location?
