R-800 130.0MHz frequency

[REL]

In the manual page 355 I found this note :

Before sending an ”I‟m Lost“ request, you need to tune the R-800 to 130.0MHz.

Anybody knows what is the idea behind this procedure ?

If i understand it correctly, it's like an emergency frequency...

 

Imagine that you have no abris, no navigation system, and 127.500 doesn't work 'cause you have changed all the airports frequencies... So you just have to put your R800 to 130.000, requesting an Azimuth by the "I'm lost" request. Then the airport gives you its azimuth and name, and by its name you can put the right frequency of the airport.

 

That's my interpretation :)

Sound like a fair explanation to me

I had this last night during multiplayer. Got shot over town and Abris & Hud was down because of a big hole on left side just behind engine.

Was glad that I knew how to get back to the airport.
