How long does the URT-33C/M transmit in Timed mode?

The URT-33C/M is a transmitter used for emergency signaling and is specifically designed to be operational in various modes, including Timed mode. In Timed mode, the URT-33C/M transmits for a standardized duration of 10 minutes. This consistent time frame allows for reliability in emergency situations, ensuring that the signal is transmitted long enough for search and rescue operations to detect the signal without excessive signal duration that could drain battery life unnecessarily. Understanding this operational duration is critical for pilots and aircrew as it provides insight into the capabilities and limitations of emergency signaling equipment, enhancing preparedness during flight operations.
