Section III - SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)
The ELT is a compact self powered emergency locating transmitter designed to activate
automatically under disabling emergency conditions, or manually from the cabin to summon assistance
in other than a disabling emergency condition. The system operates on the international distress
frequencies of 121.5 MHz, 243.0 MHz and 406.025 MHz. In operation, the ELT transmits a down sweep
audio tone at approximately three sweeps per second.
The transmitter is self powered by an alkaline battery and is mounted inside the tailcone. An impact
switch automatically activates the transmitter following a 5g nominal impact along the flight axis
of the airplane. Power output is 50 mW effective radiated power on each frequency.
Controls permit a remote test and reset with manual activation remotely or from the transmitter
mounted switch.
A three position, guarded switch is installed in the transmitter. For normal automatic operation, this
switch is set to the ARM position. The transmitter can be tested by setting the ARM-OFF-ON switch to
the ON position. This should be done with the antenna connected, and only within the first 5 minutes of
an hour for a maximum of three pulses (see FAA Advisory Circular No. 4313, Chapter 12, paragraph
21).
An ELT remote control switch, located on the left side of the copilot’s instrument panel, has three
positions which are placarded ON, ARM and RESET. The remote control unit switch has a guard to
prevent inadvertent activation. To operate, the switch lever is pulled up and pushed to the RESET or ON
position. To reset the transmitter impact switch in case of inadvertent activation, set the remote switch
to RESET and then back to ARM.
The tip of the remote control unit switch has a red light emitting diode. The LED will illuminate
continuously any time the ELT is transmitting. A slowly flashing red light indicates that the transmitter is
OFF or that the transmitter battery pack must be replaced. A quickly flashing red light indicates that the
remote control unit battery must be replaced.
NOTE: Whenever the transmitter is turned off, the remote will not sense the transmitter battery pack.
The remote will flash slowly to warn the pilot that the transmitter is incapable of sending a
rescue signal.
WARNING: ACCORDING TO FAA REGULATIONS, THE BATTERY PACK MUST BE
REPLACED IF THE UNIT HAS BEEN TRANSMITTING CONTINUOUSLY FOR
MORE THAN ONE HOUR.
