NORMAL PROCEDURES
As long as the function selector switch remains in the AUTO position,
the ELT automatically activates following an impact of 5g or more over a
short period of time.
Following
a
lightning strike, or an exceptionally hard landing, the
ELT may activate although no emergency exists. To check your ElLT
for
inadvertent activation, select 121.5 MHz on your radio transceiver and
listen for an emergency tone transmission. If the ELT can be heard
transmitting, place the function selector switch in the OFF position and the
tone should cease. Immediately place the function selector switch in the
AUTO position to re-set the ELT for normal operation.
