FOLLOWING RESCUE -- Position remote switch/annunciator
to the AUTO position, terminating emergency transmissions.
SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
As long as the remote switch/annunciator is in the AUTO position
and the EL T master function selector switch remains in the AUTO
position, the EL T automatically activates when the unit senses
longitudinal inertia forces as required in TSO-C91 A.
Following a lightning strike, or an exceptionally hard landing, the
EL T may activate although no emergency exists. If the remote
switch/annunciator illuminates, the EL T has inadvertently activated
itself. Another way to check is to select 121.5 MHz on the radio
transceiver and listen for an emergency tone transmission . If the
remote switch/annunciator is illuminated or an emergency tone is
heard, position the remote switch/annunciator in the RESET position
and release to the AUTO position.
The EL T must be serviced in accordance with FAR Part 91.207.
INSPECTIONITEST
1. The emergency locator transmitter should be tested every 100
hours.
NOTE
Test should only be conducted within the first 5
minutes of each hour.
2. Disconnect antenna cable from EL T.
3 . Turn airplane battery switch and avionics power switches ON.
4. Turn airplane
tran~ceiver
ON and set frequency to 121 .5 MHz.
5. Place remote switch/annunciator in the ON position. The
annunciator should illuminate. Permit
only
three emergency
tone transmissions, then immediately reposition the remote
switch/annunciator to the RESET position and release to the
AUTO position .
