121.5 Emergency Guard Frequency - CAP Perspective
The CAPblog posted a good commentary about the 121.5 emergency “guard frequency”.
While most of us think of 121.5 as the ELT frequency, its also one of the two “Guard” frequencies, channels that are supposed to be continually monitored by aircraft in flight (the other is 243.0, but that, if I recall correctly, is military-only)
So that errant ELT accidental activation you’re running around trying to find, while possibly being a crashed airplane, could also be a factor in a much, much larger issue. All the more reason to find and silence an accidentally activated ELT in a timely manner. The life you could be saving could actually be someone completely unrelated to the operation at hand!
