To enhance protection of life and property, it is mandatory that each 406.0-406.1 MHz ELT must be
registered with NOAA before installation and that information be kept up-to-date. In addition to the
identification plate or label requirements, each 406.0-406.1 MHz ELT is provided on the outside with a
clearly discernable permanent pl
ate or label containing the following statement: “The owner of this
406.0-406.1 MHz ELT must register the NOAA identification code contained on this label with the

Aircraft owners must advise NOAA in writing upon change of aircraft or ELT ownership, or any other

aircraft outside of the owner's control, or another change in registration information. NOAA will provide
registrants with proof of registration and change of registration postcards.
