3C-11. EMERGENCY
LOCATOR
TRANSMITTER
(DM ELT8.1).
a. Description. An automatic or manually
activated Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is
located on the right side of the aft fuselage. The
associated antenna is mounted on top of the aft
fuselage at the same location, Figure 2-1. An access
hole with a spring-loaded cover is located in the right
fuselage skin adjacent to the transmitter, enabling a
downed pilot to manually initiate, terminate, or reset
the ELT to an armed mode. Self-contained batteries
provide operation for a minimum of 48 hours T1 and
50 hours T2 at 200 milliwatts. The transmitter contains
an impact G switch that automatically activates the
transmitter following a 3-7G impact along the flight axis
of the airplane T1 and a 10 G impact along any axis of
the aircraft T2.. When activated, it will simultaneously
radiate omnidirectional RF signals on the international
