My ELT works.

While pulling the wire under the baggage compartment floor, my son accidentally hit the battery and ELT tray.

Beep beep beep. Oops.

I didn’t get to the off switch fast enough. A nice Major from the Air Force, called me a few minutes later to make sure I was ok and verify my location. It is nice to know the system works.

  • Wow. First time I’ve heard of the “response”. Thanks

  • A phone call beats an F-16, lol!

    Need help? Let me know!

  • Got a call from the FBO many years ago when my ELT started while sitting on the ramp. The tower called them about the transmission.
