FWIW, when you purchase a Brietling Emergency, you;
1. Have to show your Pilot Certificate to prove you're a pilot.
2. Sign a contract with Brietling that you won't use the Emergency
function
except in a real emergency, thus preventing "stupid bar trick's".


Can you use the standard test procedures for emergency beacons listed in
the FAR/AIM? A beacon whose function can't be confirmed isn't too
useful. Who is a party to this funky contract, and is it a legal
document or a corporate responsibility campaign?
