Orientation
1)
Mount the C406-2HM ELT parallel to the waterline of the fuselage, along the longitudinal axis, with
the direction-of-flight arrow on the ELT pointing forward. See Figure 28.
NOTE:
This is the orientation of the primary G-switch in the ELT.
2)
The ELT may be angled downward as much as 25°, if necessary.
NOTE:
Keep in mind the steeper the mounting angle, the more pre-load on the primary G-
switch and the increased likelihood of “nuisance” activations.
3)
All other installation requirements contained herein are applicable and must be adhered to.
