The underwater locator beacon is required to operate for at least

  • A.1 year
  • B.30 days after activation
  • C.24 hours
  • D.7 days

Answer: B

Correct answer: 30 days after activation

The underwater locator beacon must transmit for at least 30 days from activation, which sets the window a search has to find it acoustically.

The figure has proved tight in deep-water accidents where the site was uncertain, and some installations now carry beacons specified for 90 days, with a low-frequency airframe beacon detectable at greater range. The period is bounded by battery capacity in a sealed unit that must also survive the crash and the pressure at depth.
