I thought so too.
A designated examiner was reviewing our log books for a commercial student. He flagged that as being a problem. He also felt that it was wrong for me to remove a radio, get it repair and reinstall it. The radio complaint was resolved through the AOPA website. They gave that exact example as something that the pilot could do. Maybe I should ask them about and ELT check. Kevin "G.R. Patterson III" wrote in message ...

Not being an A&P or an IA, am I allowed to perform this check and sign off on it? I certainly hope so. I've been doing that for years.

And the hell of it is, we can't even use the "natalie exclusion" because it is
the ONLY thing in the airplane that isn't connected to the bus that turns on the landing light {;-) Jim -A designated examiner was reviewing our log books for a commercial student. -He flagged that as being a problem.

Is the ELT ground tied to the plane's ground? :-)

Nope,
Its one of those little self contained units. It has one of those wire antennas that poke you in the eye when you go into my baggage compartment.

In fact, if you unhook the fuselage antenna from the ELT then the remote switch no longer works. [Questionable design, but that's the way it came from Piper.] ----------------------------------------------- James M.
