5.4 Antenna Mounting

 

As in all installations is it important to follow aircraft manufacturers’ instructions and the latest 
FAA Rules and Regulations.  In some cases a FAA form 337 may be required to complete any 
antenna installation. (Pressurized areas, structural changes, etc.)  
 

 

It is important for the installer to determine if this change constitutes a major or  

 

minor alteration.  In most installations in non-pressurized areas ELT and their  

 

antenna systems are not considered a major alteration by the FAA.   

 
The best location is the upper aft portion of the fuselage.  In order to achieve maximum 
‘visibility’ of satellites, the 406 MHz antenna must be mounted on the top of the aircraft.   The 
antenna is equipped with an internal GPS antenna and must have an unobstructed view of the 
GPS satellite constellation.   It should be mounted vertically and not be shadowed by other 
structures such as larger antennas, propellers, or tail surfaces. 
 

 

 

 
RTCA/DO-204, Section 3.1.10 and RTCA/DO-183 Section 3.1.10 give the following guidelines:

•

 

Locate the antenna at least 30 inches (75 cm) away from other antennas, wires, vertical 
stabilizer, etc. to minimize distortion of the radiated field and interference with other 
equipment.  

•

 

The antenna must be installed VERTICALLY (within ±15º of the vertical plane is 
acceptable).  

 
 

Emerging Lifesaving Technologies has data on file that the 406 portion transmits both 

vertically and horizontally.  For Smith Charts contact our customer service division for full 
details. 
 
The 406ELT is currently certified to be used with the automatic fixed “AF” configuration with 
following antennas:
