1. EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER
The Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is acti-
vated automatically on impact, transmitting on
121.5, 243 and 406.25 MHz.
The ELT is located in the rear avionics rack, and
can not be removed from the aircraft.
The ELT is waterproof. It operates independently of
the aircraft batteries. The self
− contained battery
has a minimum capacity of 24 hours of transmission
on 406.25 MHz and 72 hours on 121.5/243 MHz.
There are three switches:
− The impact switch (activates the ELT at a 5 G
impact)
− An ”ON − OFF” switch on the ELT
− A remote ”ON − ARMED − RESET” switch on the
EMERGENCY overhead panel in the flight com-
partment.
Upon activation, the ELT starts to transmit on 121.5
and 243 MHz. There is a time delay of 47 seconds
before the ELT starts to transmit on 406.25 MHz.
Activation is indicated by a flashing red indicator on
the ELT and on the EMERGENCY panel.
1.1 Automatic activation
For normal operation, the switch in the cockpit shall
be in the ARMED position, and the switch on the
ELT shall be in the ON position. The ELT will then
activate automatically on impact.
1.2 Manual activation
The ELT is manually activated when the cockpit
switch is set to ON.
1.3 Deactivation
The ELT can be deactivated in two ways:
− Set the switch on the ELT to OFF, or
− On the cockpit EMERGENCY panel, momentarily
set the ELT switch to the RESET position.
If the ELT has been inadvertently activated, inform
ATC immediately, to prevent unnecessary search/
rescue actions. Also, make an entry in the aircraft
log book.
