If the data link from the GPS to the ME-183 NAV is lost, the ME-183 NAV holds the last
known position data for 60 seconds, as required by C/S T.001 “Specification for
COSPAS-SARSAT 406 MHz Distress Beacons”, Subsection 4.5.5.4.
•
The ELT must be activated within the 60-second timeframe for the ME-183 NAV to
transmit position data to the ELT.
•
After the 60-second timeframe has lapsed, the last known position is lost.
•
The ELT transmits a default message if it does not receive valid position data.
