completely to get a valid GPS position. If this happens, the GPS PLB “fails safe” and
does not transmit an inaccurate position but instead sends information to indicate that
no position is available. Location of the PLB without GPS position information is
dependent on the orbiting satellite system just like with a non-GPS PLB.
PLBs have a secondary 121.5 MHz homing transmitter. This transmits on the 121.5
MHz internationally recognised aviation guard channel. If an aircraft hears an
activated beacon, it will often make a report to the aviation authority which will pass
this information to the Rescue Coordination Centre. When the rescue services get
close they can "home in" on the 121.5 MHz signal using direction finding techniques.
