9.13.4 Personal locator beacons
Where Search & Rescue services are not readily available, Companies may wish to consider the provi-sion of Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) to passengers. Ideally PLBs should be both 121.5 MHz and 406 MHz capable, so that the signal may be detected by the global SAR satellite system. Companies will need to confirm that the countries of operation are members of the SATSAR system.
9.13.5 Life jackets
On over water flights all aircrew and passengers will be provided with inflatable life jackets approved for aircraft use. They will have a survivor locator light and each life jacket must be stowed in a posi-tion easily accessible from the seat or berth of the person for whose use it is provided.
For offshore helicopter flights, these jackets will be fitted with constant wear covers, and will be worn at all times unless exposure suits are equipped with integral vests.
