RADAR is the device most commonly used to locate airplanes in flight. In the event of a crash, the aircraft is equipped with an ELT (emergency location transmitter) which broadcasts a radio signal to aid in the search for the aircraft. Emergency search teams can then use specialized radio receivers to locate the ELT, and thus the crash site.
