Sometimes putting safety first means planning for the worst-case scenario. If you frequently fly over water, the DUKANE SEACOM DK180 Underwater Acoustic Beacon from SkyGeek is a smart investment. The underwater beacon is designed and certified to meet FAA TSO-C200a and TSO-C142a standards, as well as SAE-AS6254a minimum performance standards for Low Frequency Underwater Locator Devices. In the event of an accident involving water, the DK180 will emit a low-frequency signal, aiding in the detection and recovery efforts of a submerged aircraft. The beacon will transmit the signal for a minimum of 90 days and should be used as a supplement to your existing Underwater Locating Devices, which are attached directly to flight and data recorders.
The DUKANE SEACOM DK180 Underwater Locator Beacon features a watertight aluminum case that measures 2” in diameter x 6” long. The ULB locating device can operate in depths up to 20,000 feet (6096 m) and is detectable underwater up to 7.0-12.0 NM (13-22 km) depending on environmental factors. The included water switch actuator initiates the operation of the beacon upon immersion in either fresh or salt water.
