ELT

I finished installing the ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) except for the antenna. It's an ACK Technologies Model E-04 which is the newest technology 406 MHz GPS position ELT which meets all the upcoming stringent FAA rules. The ELT activates either with a sudden onset of g forces (a crash) or when it's manually turned on.  I used Van's mounting bracket just aft of the baggage bulkhead.


This is the audio alert indicator and the panel mount remote control. This is how you activate the ELT manually and hear that it's going off.
