10.5 ELT Operating Procedures
Company aircraft shall be equipped with an ELT. During the pre-flight, the PIC shall confirm that the ELT is in
“ARM” mode.
The aircraft may be operated without a serviceable ELT during a test flight or if the Company:
§ removes the ELT from the aircraft at the first aerodrome at which repairs or removal can be
accomplished;
§ on removal of the ELT, sends the ELT to a maintenance facility; and,
§ displays on a readily visible placard within the aircraft cockpit, until the ELT is replaced, a notice stating
that the ELT has been removed and the date of removal.
The Company shall re-equip the aircraft with a serviceable ELT within 30 days after the date of removal.
An ELT shall only be activated in an emergency or during the first 5 minutes of any hour for not more than five
seconds for the purpose of testing it.
Where an ELT has been inadvertently activated during flight, the PIC of the aircraft shall ensure that:
§ the nearest ATC unit, FIC or community aerodrome radio station is informed as soon as possible; and,
§ the ELT is switched off.
During an emergency requiring search and rescue assistance, the ELT is to be operated in accordance with the
instructions printed on the ELT and additional information contained in the Canada Flight Supplement - Emergency
chapter.
