Abstract: A position reporting emergency locating system utilizes a satellite navigational system to continuously monitor the position of a craft relative to the earth's surface and to repetitively obtain and record it's position as a function of real time as to position, heading and other parameters including the craft identification. An event responding initiator such as an accelerometer or sudden descent determination automatically transmits a position and craft identification to a remote receiver or other craft for relay. The system can be accessed, controlled and/or monitored by remote receiver and transmitter devices. The parameters are logged in a memory.
