Thanks again for the info. As I continue to look at the systems I constantly wonder how my situation would unfold. If I'm laying in my cornfield next to a busted up plane
I activate my spot
1. I hope the satellite system picks up my signal
2. I wait for the spot controller to call my...
OK I see how they are processed. Since each of these entities are basically dispatch centers how much delay is there in processing and who are the responders who actually come rescue me in each case. I ask because here in the midwest there are few federal resources for AFRCC to request...
there have been some great posts here providing information on the COSPAS/SARSAT system. My question is who actually responds if I go down in the midwest, I'm injured and I can activate both devices. Its my understanding that SPOT activates the closest PSAP (911 center). How about SARSAT?

Wow,
I cant believe all of the great replies. I would love to travel to florida to get this done, but thats not in the cards. Because of that restriction I will have to wait until the water turns soft again. In the mean time do any of you have experience with these folks...
I need the help of my friends on the POA forum.
For Christmas this year my wife has given me the chance to do some training in amphibian aircraft. I just need to set it up. I have searched the forum, and the Internet, but I would like some recomndaions from you. I live in central Iowa and...
I fought this battle when I first started flying. If you have a reasonable examiner this should not be a huge hurdle. I have controlled Asthma, and I still have my medical. :)
