Crash Locator Beacons Could Save Many Air Travelers
A year ago Alvin Oien and his family perished after their light plane crashed in the Trinity Alps 35 miles west of Aolding.

Congress considers mandatory crash beacons for all aircraft with rental options to ease cost. Private flying grows, and beacons could reduce tragedy in remote crashes.
