INSTALLATION / REMOVAL
1. Registration
A. General
The ELT must be registered prior to installation onboard.
When a 406 MHz ELT is installed in an aircraft, it is imperative that the aircraft
owner register the ELT. Each 406 MHz ELT contains a unique identification
code that is transmitted to the satellite. This helps the “Rescue Coordination
Center” (RCC) determine whether an emergency actually has occurred. The
unique identification permits accessing a data base.
The registration card available from the local registration authority must be
completed and returned to this authority.
The "Programming Datasheet" (DIM00300) must be completed and returned to
your distributor.
Any change of ownership shall also be declared and registered with the local
registration authority and with the distributor.
