New personal locator beacon, instant success!
Techtest pioneered the early integration of a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver into portable emergency beacons to provide levels of position accuracy previously only associated with installed aviation emergency transmitters. In particular, the Series 500-27 personal locator beacon with GPS has demonstrated its effectiveness not only in real emergencies, but also during many trials which include tests under extreme climatic conditions in Antarctica during RAF Expedition Southern Reach, and live ejection seat testing by Martin-Baker for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.
The 500-27-07 PLB utilizes all the proven electronics of the 500-27 PLB but updates the casing design to give a modern stylish appearance without losing the rugged and durable qualities associated with Techtest SAR products.
In line with Techtest's quality policy, the 500-27-07 carries full JTSO and Cospas Sarsat approvals, allowing it to be fitted to aircraft as an Emergency Locator Transmitter (Survival) as well as be carried in life vests for personal use.
