ELT; Emergency Locator Transmitters
An Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is a device that can be manually or automatically activated to transmit a distress signal to a satellite. ELTs that activate automatically use a “G-Switch” (gravity switch) that triggers the ELT when it senses that a crash has occurred. With ELTs, Search and Rescue teams may more easily pin-point the exact location of a downed aircraft. So, section 91.207 of the Federal Aviation Regulations states that no person as well as Part 121 operators and operations governed by Part 135 may operate a U.S. registered civil aircraft unless an approved automatic type emergency locator transmitter is attached to the aircraft. Similar regulations are established by aviation authorities’ through-out the world.
TSO C-126 prescribes the minimum performance standard that an ELT operating on 406.0 Megahertz must meet as well as determines the requirement for the aircraft owner to register the digital message programmed into the ELT with Cospas/Sarsat. TSO C-126 approved ELTs will also transmit on 121.5 MHz frequency, however satellite alerting of the 121.5 MHz distress signal will be discontinued after February 1, 2009.
ELTs are one of those items in the plane that you hope you'll never have
to use. But when you need it your life may be dependent on it!
New TSOs (FAA Technical Standard Orders) have gone into effect so buying
a used ELT is a very bad idea. Our prices are excellent in any case, so it's
best to stick with the new ones. The finest units can use DURACELL(tm) "D"
size flashlight batteries in the ELT. This means that the more expensive discreet
ELT batteries are becoming a thing of the past.
Fortunately, there are many good ELTs out there today. Unfortunately, only
some meet the specifications for foreign registered aircraft. Contact us if
you need to import our ELTs. For use in the United States, however, we can provide solutions with really de outstanding values. The choice you make
depends on your mounting requirements, your personal preferences and whether
a microphone or position transmitting interface is desired. Give us a call
at APG-Eastern Avionics for all the options and details.
