Brian noticed the second rescue plane because he was scanning the skies constantly, looking for any signs of help. He was hyper-aware of any potential rescue opportunities, hoping to be found and rescued.
He finds a rescue package in the plane he came and recked in. And with the rescue package he found there was a radio transmitter that he used to signal out for help. So with that, a rescue plane came and picked him up.
He finds the 'Survival Pack' from the plane, and in it there's an 'Emergency Transmitter' thingy. He presses the button on it but he thinks it doesn't work, but it does. It sends a message to a rescue plane and they come find him. In the end he's cooking frozen dinners from the survival pack and he shares the food with his rescuer.
Brian was motivated to go all the way on a slippery log to retrieve his drink because he was extremely thirsty and desperate for water. He had no other source of water available and knew that he needed to stay hydrated to survive in the wilderness.

Brian knows rescue might not come soon because he has heard his mother and the pilot mention that they were not expected back for a few weeks due to the remote location of where they were flying. Additionally, he remembers the pilot telling him that the plane's emergency transmitter was not working, so there is no way for anyone to know that they have crashed.
Brian used the radio to call for help only once during his time in the wilderness. After the plane crash, he attempted to use the radio to signal for rescue but was unsuccessful. His focus shifted to survival, relying on his skills and resourcefulness instead of the radio. Ultimately, it was his determination and adaptability that led to his eventual rescue.
The pilot finds Brian because he sees a signal fire that Brian has lit while trying to attract attention for rescue. After surviving a plane crash and enduring weeks in the wilderness, Brian's determination to survive leads him to create the fire, which ultimately helps the pilot spot him from the air. This moment signifies hope and the culmination of Brian's struggle for survival.
Brian is afraid that the plane might crash.
In chapters 9-12, Brian is in the forest when he hears an engine, a plane engine and he starts to run towards his shelter to pull out a piece of wood with fire still on it and goes to ignite his signal but the plane turns around just as he gets to the signal.
