hannover_dk Skrev:Det ser da ud til det virker så - selv om lidt søgning ikke giver så meget mere end lige de nævnte piloter, og hvor de lige fik penge til uret står der ikke noget om, faktisk kunne det se ud som om det var en del af en demonstration, jeg kan ikke finde andet konkret som er blevet reddet, heller <Richard B, men hvorfor ikke , han har da pengene:

Under normal circumstances—flat land or quiet oceans — the Emergency's signal will be received at a range of up to 90 nautical miles (167 km) by search airplane flying at 20,000 feet (6,000 m).

In an emergency demonstrating how the Breitling Emergency watch can be brought into play to rescue people, two British pilots, Squadron Leader Steve Brooks and Flight Lt. Hugh Quentin-Smith crashed their helicopter in Antarctica and were saved after turning on their Breitling Emergency timepieces fitted with transmitters. The two aviators were sailing in their lifeboat when a Chilean Otter airplane located them after receiving the signals from their super wristwatches.

The Breitling Emergency watch is obtainable for people who do not have an aviator's license; however, they are supposed to put their signature on an agreement stating that they will pay the full expenditure of a rescue operation if they activate the distress lighthouse.

NÅ,svært at vide hvad der er sandt, lyder som en dyr gimmich i forhold til hvad man har ex i et fly og på ekspeditoner i øvrigt, men en del andet kan findes, hvis man gider læse løs:
(først- den sender på en nu uddød SARS frekvens og har lille rækkevidde (100 miles kan man se andre steder)

This is an obsolete SAR (search and rescue) frequency. If you really want to be found, you need an EPIRB (emergency position indicating radio beacon) which transmits your GPS position up to a satelite. I think this is a stunt "benefit", not really useful (at least when you really want it - after a crash.)

I find it hard to see how this would actually be useful - if you are in remote or rugged areas, you are out of range, and if you are in populated areas, it is not a secret a plane came down.

lidt mere positivt
am of the opinion and concur that the likelyhood of using this device is limited, but if you have the financial means it makes sense to have all the available tools at your disposal for a potential survival situation, to include EPIRB and ELT, flares and signal mirrors, strobes and matches and fresh socks....food and water.

The frequency used for transmission is being phased out and as of 1st February 2009 will no longer be monitored by emergency satellites, only by ground stations with limited coverage. see [url]"http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/regulatory/elt.html">http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/regulatory/elt.html[/url]
To spend this much money on a watch whose main raison d'etre ceases in three years must be regarded as lunacy

Surt show. Kender en fyr som har betalt 36k for sit for 2 uger siden..

Men ang. de gyrotourbillon. Hvor billigt kan jeg erhverve mig et ur med en funktion?
