ELT 406 TSO C126
Service
An Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is a device that transmits a distress signal to aid in the detection and location of aircrafts. An ELT can be manually or automatically activated. ELTs that activate automatically use a G-Switch that triggers the ELT. Once the ELT is activated and a distress signal is detected, it is used to locate the aircraft by triangulation. Each 406 MHz ELT contains a unique identification code that is transmitted to the satellite. The unique identification code relates in a database at Search and Rescue Centers to help identify the aircraft in distress. TSO C126 prescribes the minimum performance standard that an ELT operating on 121.5 and 406 MHz must meet.
