Yes it would be great for search and rescue.
Every flight is recorded. I. Have checked my flight ihistory and every movement was captured, and accurate.
Everyone and anyone can see where you are or have been. Like it or not....
And has been used to bust folks for flying when weather didn’t meet minimums...the latest AIA out of Togiak....AWOS and ADS-B data is being used as an enforcement tool to police all airspace. Makes you wonder if asking for a special VRF clearance when viz is at 1/2 mile at the departure point... If I get a ticket from the watchers.....will ATC document the departure authorization?

Will having ADS B out be a significant aid for search and rescue operations in the lower 48? From what I’ve read the flight data is sent via satellite, therefore if it’s recorded there should be a record of the flight path.

Your best bet to be found quickly is a 406 ELT that transmits a GPS position. ADS-B is currently a ground based system. In the future I expect some satellite involvement.
Satellites are up now. Iridium next.
I agree 406 elt

There are two entries for identification, one is your fed assigned code number, which is just your tail number in hexadecimal. This gets reported to faa no matter what. The other is the flight number, which in our case, is usually also the tail number. (I reserve “Bozo Patrol”....) This is the ID that the web sites that report air traffic for the public use. That is the one that gets muted by activating “anonymous” mode. I think....

So, does it report to dispatch via ground stations or via satellite? Over ocean or wilderness capability?
Clearly an experimental must have electrical issues that prevented the ads-b from working properly. Nothing in the regs says 40 ads-b hours!
It's hard to believe the FAA would pay any attention to accumulated time for enforcement reasons. Airspace violations, yes.
This sort of tracking has been happening long before internet was invented. I once received an airways use bill from a small country in the Caribbean for my "Gulfstream N45P". That N number was on my T-50 which hadn't been out of Massachusetts for years. I also received a fuel bill from the midwest for the same N number, for jet fuel claiming it went in my MU-2 and another from Florida for a sales tax. I was under the impression that people were using random N numbers for nefarious reasons. For some reason they chose my number on several different occasions.I know someone who was investigated for not flying his 40 hrs off before leaving his flight test area. The FAA had checked his Facebook and claimed he was in Florida when he reached his 40 hrs. They determined this off his Flight Aware data from the ADSB out. Turns out the wrong N number was programmed into the ADSB unit for the first 10 hours of the test flights. Had to send them a logbook entry for an oil change at 38.9 hours from a shop on the other side of the country to clear it up. Big Brother might not be watching but he sure has the means.
This is what push-pull breakers were made for.

Most newer jets have the C/B's located out of reach of the pilot. Airbus puts them below the flight deck.
