If possible, the positions should be given relative to a nav aid. If the aircraft is equipped with homing equipment, provide the bearing to the emergency signal with each reported position. 7. 6-2-6: Notify your company or ATC 8. 6-2-7(b): The USAF. 9. 6-2-7(f)(1): Facilities providing radar flight following or advisories consider the loss of radar and radios, without service termination notice, to be a possible emergency. 10. 6-2-7(f)(3): Injured survivors life expectancy decreases as much as 80 percent during the first 24 hours.
