Description

Would it be possible to add a button that would make the buzzer beep loudly for either some sort of emergency landing or if an aircraft crashes without disconnecting the battery you can activate the buzzer to help find the downed aircraft?

Thank you

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Mission Planner's existing aircraft-control UI and the command path for activating a buzzer; done would require an agreed button behavior that reliably triggers the aircraft buzzer for recovery or emergency use.
