yeah he's certainly not evading but the big question is "why didn't his elt go off ?" what scenarios fit this ... he experienced a health problem and got the plane down ? doesn't seem like an experienced pilot like him would forget to set it off by hand after a forced landing .... Do they sometimes fail to go off on impact ? As someone else posted, severe crashes can sever the ELT antenna. Sadly, it's the scenario that best fits the apparent lack of signals from either his ELT or his wrist-mounted PLB. Ron Wanttaja
