One additional thing I thought of is..... Why do ground schools teach all of the rules of when you can test the ELT ( first 5 minutes of each hour ) if you are not authorized to test it? Anyone else find this curious? Kevin 'cuz that's what the aim says: 6-2-5: b. Testing. 1. ELT's should be tested in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, preferably in a shielded or screened room or specially designed test container to prevent the broadcast of signals which could trigger a false alert. 2. When this cannot be done, aircraft operational testing is authorized as follows: (a) Analog 121.5/243 MHz ELT's should only be tested during the first 5 minutes after any hour. If operational tests must be made outside of this period, they should be coordinated with the nearest FAA Control Tower or FSS. Tests should be no longer than three audible sweeps. If the antenna is removable, a dummy load should be substituted during test procedures. (b) Digital 406 MHz ELT's should only be tested in accordance with the unit's manufacturer's instructions. (c) Airborne tests are not authorized. you can do this test, but this doesn't satisfy the requirement of 91.207(d), which includes a test of the "crash sensor". the ai must do this test (i think he drops it on the floor or something). anyway, that's my take, fwiw. g_a |
