ACR ResQLink PLB

Description

When you’re flying remote areas or over water, a traditional ELT may not be enough—you need a backup that works independently of your aircraft’s electrical system. The ACR ResQLink PLB is a portable locator beacon designed to activate on demand, broadcasting your position directly to rescue coordination centers via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network. Unlike panel-mounted ELTs, this handheld device goes with you in a life raft or during bailout, ensuring you stay discoverable even if the aircraft is lost or unreachable.

The ResQLink is compact enough to stow in a flight bag or survival kit and operates on replaceable batteries with a multi-year shelf life. It includes a bright strobe light and whistle to aid visual rescue, and the integrated GPS provides accurate location data to speed response times. Pilots operating over sparsely populated terrain, long water crossings, or in conditions where rescue might take hours should consider this as essential backup survival equipment alongside their installed ELT.
