Regulatory Requirements and Guidelines
A.
For US Registered aircraft:
WARNING:
FAILURE TO REGISTER THIS ELT WITH NOAA BEFORE INSTALLATION COULD
RESULT IN A MONETARY FORFEITURE BEING ISSUED TO THE OWNER.
1)
To enhance protection of life and property, it is mandatory that each 406.0-406.1 MHz ELT 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 discernible permanent plate
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 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
whose address is:
NOAA/SARSAT Beacon Registration
NSOF E/SPO53
1315 East West Hwy
Silver Spring, MD 20910-3282
2)
Aircraft owners must advise NOAA in writing upon change of aircraft or ELT ownership, or any other change
in registration information. Fleet operators must notify NOAA upon transfer of ELT to another 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.
