EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If a forced landing is necessary, set the remote switch to the ON
position before landing. This is very important in remote or
mountainous terrain. The red warning light above the remote switch will
flash and the aural warning will be heard.
After a landing when search and rescue aid is needed, use the ELT as
follows:
NOTE
The ELT remote switch assembly could be inoperative if
damaged during a forced landing. If inoperative, the inertia
“G” switch will activate automatically. However, to turn the
ELT OFF and ON again requires manual switching of the
ELT panel switch which is located on the ELT unit.
1. MAKE SURE THE ELT IS ENERGIZED:
a. If the red warning light above the remote switch is not
flashing, set the remote switch to the ON position.
b. Listen for the aural warning. If the COM radio(s) operate and
can be energized safely (no threat of fire or explosion),
energize a COM radio and set the frequency to 121.5 MHz.
The ELT tone should be heard on the COM radio if the ELT
is working correctly. When done, de-energize the COM
radio(s) to conserve the airplane battery power.
c. Make sure that nothing is touching or blocking the ELT
antenna.
2. AFTER RESCUE - Set the remote switch to the ARM position to
de-energize the ELT. If the remote switch does not function, set
the switch on the C406-N (in the tailcone) to the OFF position.
