Frequently Asked Questions
What is an emergency locator transmitter?
An emergency locator transmitter is a specialized safety device that emits a distress signal to help search and rescue teams pinpoint the location of an incident.
What are ELT requirements for aircraft?
Regulatory requirements for ELTs include regular maintenance checks, battery management, and automatic activation features to ensure they perform reliably when needed. Most aircraft are required to have a properly installed and maintained ELT.
What are the types of ELT for aircraft?
There are several types of ELTs for aircraft, including automatic fixed (ELT-AF), automatic portable (ELT-AP), automatic deployable (ELT-AD), and survival (ELT-S). While an ELT-AF is permanently attached to the aircraft, an ELT-AP can be removed and manually activated. An ELT-AD is manually activated on impact, but also has an option for manual activation. An ELT-S is removable and stowed for easy access so impact survivors can activate the transmitter.
