406Day Highlights Emergency Beacon Benefits
On April 6, the benefits of 406-MHz emergency beacon technology are highlighted during 406Day—Beacon Awareness Day.

Today is 406Day—Beacon Awareness Day—a reminder of the benefits of 406-MHz emergency beacons for aviators and others who might benefit from locator beacon technology. Beacon manufacturer ACR Electronics is urging the aviation industry to spread the word of the benefits of 406-MHz beacon technology, which sends GPS-based position information to Cospas-Sarsat satellites then to the nearest search-and-rescue agency, with location accuracy of less than 100 meters.
