Consider also the possibility of reaching the ELT so that you can switch
it on manually. (You may also install a remote control cable.) In the
case the ELT does NOT go off and you are stuck in the glider wreck with
a number of broken bones this may save your life.

(It is also handy if you need to switch it off in a hurry....;o)

Does Austria require the ELT be mounted to the glider, or would a
"personal" ELT strapped to the pilot suffice? There are some of these
that seem very interesting.
