<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I'm looking at <a

which shows him on what could be a downwind, short base, and final approach to
the Jerry Tyler Memorial Airport (see <a
href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/3TR">http://www.airnav.com/airport/3TR</a>).
It's an uncontrolled (no tower) field in Niles, MI. I'm wondering if the
plot is off and he actually landed at the airport, or if the plot is correct
and he landed in the trees. His altitute started out at pattern altitude
and ended up at about ground level.<o:p></o:p></p>

That beacon was over a residential area - if he was in trouble and went
down, we'll know soon enough.<br>

Possibly a misconfigured TT3.<br>

<p>That is an aircraft registration. There should still should be (to be legal)
a ham call associated with it. It you have a moving track on it, I doubt
it is an emergency although I have no idea as to policy on APRS as to emergency
beacons. <o:p></o:p></p>
