Aviation
The PLB is not designed for use aboard aircraft and does not replace the mandatory **ELT**, although it may be carried as an additional safety device.
The PLB may be used to raise an alarm once the aircraft is on the ground. Make sure the PLB is not shadowed by the aircraft, then position and use it as described for use on land.
