Device ‘SARAH’ Should be Mandatory

Every time a small plane vanishes in
-_B.C.’s wilderness, other aircraft start to

, search, with further risk

* costs that can mount to $100,000 or more.
Sometimes survivors are found; some-
times men who survived the crash die of
exposure, injuries or starvation. Some-
_ times they are never found,

Each crash demonstrates the need for
department of transport regulations mak-
’ ing the gadget SARAH (Search And Rescue
And Homing device) or its equivalent man-

j_ Satary. equipment on all aircraft.
[t is surprising that this has not al-
. ready been done. The device costs about
$190, weighs only 244 pounds and takes
no more space than’a book. Yet it can
* send out a radio signal that RCAF search
and rescue planes can “home in” on from
75 miles away. It is not full-proof, but it
. increases enormously’ the chance that a

| crashed plane will be found.

_ ment departments and companies insist
that it be used in aircraft carrying their

. employees.

The $190 ig a trifle to a man who

pays $6,000
to life—plus

free loan to

Some govern-

or more for a private plane.

For that matter, perhaps insurance com-
panies would offer lower rates to private
pilots equipped with SARAH, and thus
reduce the tiny cost factor still more.
The department of transport has nev-
er given a compelling reason for not mak-
ing the device compulsory though the evi-
dence clearly suggests it: should be. Pro-
vincial civil defence officials have recent-
ly given the DOT the lead on another pos-
sible way to handle the problem. CD has
brought 15 SARAHS and put-them on

private pilots taking part in

search missions,

There are about 1,100 private planes
in B.C. Assuming no more than half would
be flying at any time, the transport de-
partment could buy enough beacong for
around $100,000—the : cost.of one major
search—and rent ‘them at a low rate to
local and visiting private pilots, It would
be a better use of tax money than costly

and often futile searches. — Vancouver
