"You make this implicit assumption on which to base an argument to change
the FAA's mind: "I am conscious and able to turn on my blackberry or cell
phone, and to connect and to describe my location ... ". If you are not
capable of the above and need rescue to stay alive, or your family needs
your body for closure, the whole process needs to be automatic and more
accurate. That's the answer the FAA will send back. Now, how to do what
they want in a way that will be far more reliable than the method mandated
now, and will not break our banks, is the problem at hand. There is a much
better solution, but it costs a lot more and so far, a lot of folks have
rejected it because of cost.

All good points, I think. I was not aware cell towers have to be within 3
miles for cell phones to work. How do they do it in Cambodia? I was there
a couple of years ago and reception was outstanding---surprised me no end.
Never saw a cell tower anywhere.

The problem with ELT's (assuming the stats given are right) is that they
aren't very reliable either (12% of the time). If you are incapacitated you
may be out of luck either way. Satcom is nice but expensive. Oh well.
406, here I come, I guess.
