I am admittedly technically challenged but was thinking why a GPS system couldn't be used to locate a down or missing aircraft.
Onstar in my Tahoe knows precisely where I am all the time. It knows my mileage, tire pressure and if i have hit anything recently.
I believe the vast majority of us fly with a GPS providing situational awareness. GPS recieves it's signal but evidently is only a passive reciever.
Any thoughts on integrating a OnStar type system into our aviation GPS units?
