Emergency Equipment
Overhead Panel:
Emergency locator transmitter (ELT) switch
When activated, the ELT sends signals to an international
satellite system for search and rescue (SAR) purposes. The
system also transmits on 121.5 MHz and other frequencies.
The ELT unit includes a non-rechargeable battery that provides
transmission power for circa 50 hours (in the simulator, the ELT
battery can be replaced on Instructor > Situation > Service with
the button Service batteries).
ON (guarded)
Sends ELT signals continuously.
ARMED
Starts sending ELT signals automatically when a deceleration
of 5 g or more is detected. (In the simulator, the ELT is
activated if the terrain closure rate at ground contact is
1500 fpm or more.)
TEST/RESET
(momentary action) Resets the ELT when automatically
activated. For the test, hold the toggle down for 2 seconds: if
the ELT is operative, the light will blink 3 times within circa
6 seconds.
ON
LIGHT
