What happens if an aircraft disappears from the radar screen and is nowhere to be found? Searching for the wreckage of an aircraft can be simpler on land than in the ocean. To tackle this problem, ICAO has recommended an Underwater Locator Device (ULD) for overwater operations. EASA has adopted this operational requirement and now demands compliance, and other countries have similar regulations.
NEWLY added! ULD platform B737MAX (-8/-9).
Our solution includes all instructions, documentation and installation hardware directly from stock:
A ULD is a beacon that is firmly attached to the fuselage. In the unlikely case of an aircraft becoming submerged, the ULD transmits an 8.8 kHz low-frequency acoustic signal for a minimum of 90 days. The long wavelength technology increases the detection range compared to the standard ULDs installed on FDRs and CVRs, giving recovery crews a much better chance of locating the aircraft.
