Overdue but no emergency
Original post
So as I understand it, you should only trigger a PLB in a life threatening emergency. But I have read of people triggering theirs once they exceeded their prearranged overdue time as they believed it would simplify an immediate SAR response.
I can see the merit in that but it's still wrong, right?
