US ELT installation issues for 2006 contests - clarification??
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		
Hi folks, 
 
Reading through some previous emails on this leaves me a little confused; 
 
Here's what I *think* I understand; 
 
1  Experimental gliders;  ELT does not need to be TSO'd, owner install OK but need A&P signoff (minor modification, not maintenance) 
 
2  Certified gliders; ELT must be TSO'd, A&P installed & signed off. (minor modification) 
 
So if my glider is experimental I can install a Filser ELT myself and get it signed off, but if it is Certified I Need a TSO'd unit (like Ameriking). 
 
I also read that SSA does not require TSO'd ELT as per 2005 rules but I didnt find any 2006 rules anywhere to confirm the change. 
 
Can the SRA/SSA confirm that a non-TSO's ELT is ok for contests? 
 
Thanks
