I'm looking at <a href="http://www.db0anf.de/app/aprs/stations/mobile-N789PH">http://www.db0anf.de/app/aprs/stations/mobile-N789PH</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.<br>

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