During a post-crash scenario in a remote area, the aircraft's emergency distress beacon is not automatically transmitting signals. What is the most appropriate action to take to ensure it begins transmitting?
Remove and reinsert the beacon's batteries.
Contact air traffic control to report the malfunctioning beacon.
Switch off all power sources and restart the aircraft's power system.
Manually switch the distress beacon to the 'On' position.
Manually activating the beacon will ensure it starts transmitting distress signals, which can be critical for rescue operations. The switch should be moved to the 'On' position to send out the emergency signal. This knowledge is essential for all crew members to expedite rescue efforts. Other actions, such as attempting to reboot or switch device batteries, may not be feasible or effective in triggering the beacon's transmission.
