Looking for any new information, no matter how speculative or questionable.

Rumors, Spy shots, third, 4th, & 5th-hand erroneous accounts are all welcome.

THANK YOU

Search function will help, several recent threads. As more time goes by it seems less and less likely that it will be this year (although pre-Basel announcements are being pushed back a bit as Basel is later this year).

I have searched and read every single post on this forum regarding Emergency - very little actual information. No need to be rude :)

"Search function will help" is the de-facto moderator insult for this sort of post. Don't be that guy ;)

The request is for the LATEST news and gossip.
Thx

Wow, this and a PM telling me that you have no intention of reading or following the sales rules. Really inspired to try and help you!!

Wow - outing me for a polite Private Message taken entirely out of context - I was making an obvious light joke to break the conversation.

Again, no need to be rude or act like a kindergartener.

My sincerest apologies for any offense taken.

Back to the Topic, Almost every source I have heard says the same as CT Arrow on this forum:

http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/sh ... ?p=1057263

From what I understand, this has always been in the works and will be for at least another couple of years
The engineering wizardry required in cramming adequately powered 406 beacon into a watch are steep (requires more power with less propagation) and multiple EU Prime contractors (Not Dassault) are still bidding and/or only at TRL Level 4 or 5.
