Antenna Test – Item 7

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE DURATION OF THIS TEST TO EXCEED 5 SECONDS.

Tune a low quality AM receiver (i.e., radio) to 121.5 MHz.

NOTE: The aircraft transceiver is not recommended for this test, because it is too sensitive to

verify the integrity of the antenna system and it may pick up a weak signal even if the

antenna is disconnected from the ELT. An AM radio provides a better level of confidence

for this test.

Place the radio approximately six inches from the antenna.

Activate the ELT by placing the cockpit remote switch in the “ON” position.

NOTE:

Perform this test within the first five minutes after the hour UTC.

Listen for 3 audible sweeps on the radio, which takes about 1 second. An audible signal verifies energy

is being transmitted by the antenna.

Reset the ELT by placing the cockpit remote switch in the “ARM” position.

NOTE: The ELT contains an internal self-test function that executes upon deactivation of the

ELT. This self-test function is designed to test the integrity and radiated power of the

ELT, coax cable, and antenna. If no LED error codes are displayed after deactivation of

the ELT, it is in compliance with FAR Section 91.207 subsection d paragraph (4).

SUBTASK 25-62-30-750-013

Inspection and Test Documentation – Item 8

Make an appropriate entry in the aircraft maintenance records (i.e., logbook), including the date the ELT

inspection and testing was satisfactorily completed.

In addition to the requirements of Step 1, for aircraft operating under Canadian authority and following

satisfactory completion of performance testing, the date on which the test was performed shall be

marked on the ELT external casing in a legible and permanent manner.

Self-Test Error Troubleshooting Guidelines

Table 6 on page 37 describes the ELT self-test LED error codes (i.e., flash codes), their probable causes,

and possible solutions. The 5-flash error is not present when the ELT is programmed with a serial user

protocol (short message).

NOTE: Upon activation, the LED may display a long single flash depending on software version,

which does not indicate a malfunction. Any self-test error codes will display following this

initial flash, if applicable. If there are multiple errors, there is a 0.5 to 1.0 second pause

between each error code.
