Mooneymite Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 As I read it, this AD is just saying that now an IA has to do what was supposed to have been done every year. Really no biggie unless the ELT wasn't being done on the annual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really no biggie unless the ELT wasn't being done on the annual. Does the annual require the IA test the G-switch? I thought the only previous requirement for a 121.5 ELT was to turn it on a listen on the radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB65E Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 It is required per 91.207(d) It lists the crash sensor so yes it's required. However, the newer 406 ELTs need further test equipment to read the hex code they spit out. Some of the later "self test" guidelines in ELT's test the switch but only electronically, not mechanically. So there is a bit of a gray area on what's required. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
