I don't understand why such a difference between what you are saying and a portable SPOT device [1] which is pretty much standard for extreme sports nowadays. A SPOT device is only 114g, tracks every 2.5 minutes, and runs on batteries for days. $170 for the device and $200 for the service per year.

Actually if passengers start carrying these devices (while sitting next to the window) that's already a solution.
