A. ELT functional Test Procedure:
CAUTION: Do not allow the duration of this test to exceed 5 seconds. The ELT will
transmit A 406 MHz signal after the ELT is activated for approximately 47 seconds. The
COSPAS-SARSAT Satellite System will consider the 406 MHz Transmission to be a
valid distress signal.
1 If required by local aviation regulations, perform the following functional check within
the first 5 minutes after the hour (UTC).
2 Notify any nearby control tower of your intentions.
3 Tune a receiver, usually the aircraft transceiver, to 121.5 MHz.
NOTE: An AM Radio may be used to receive the signal.
4 Activate the ELT by placing the cockpit remote switch in the “ON” position. The LED
will begin flash continuously.
5 Listen for 3 audible sweeps on the receiver, which takes about 1 second.
6 Verify the buzzer sounds immediately upon activation.
7 Return the cockpit remote switch to the “ARM” (off) position while paying close
attention to LED activity when the ELT enters the “ARM” condition. If the ELT is
working properly, after a few seconds the test results is displayed with red visual
indicator and buzzer will sound .
One long flash indicates that the system is operational and that no error condition was
found.
