– A Survival (S) ELT is a portable ELT that is intended to be removed from an aircraft
by survivors of a crash. One survival ELT model ELTA S06 is installed at station 4L.
Once the ELT is activated, it transmits a digital distress signal, 406 MHz, to satellites that
are part of the COSPAS-SARSAT SYSTEM. The information sent to the satellites
contained the message as follows:
ELT Identification number, Aircraft ID (or ELT serial number), Country code, Aircraft
type, Aircraft registration, Airline address, Airline telephone number and Alternate
telephone number.
These satellites will transmit the ELT’s signal to the ground control station. The ground
station processes the signals and forwards the data including approximate location to
rescuing authority.
ELT also transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243 MHz to be used for
rescuing authority to home in on the crash site.
The 406 MHz transmitter will operate for 24 hours and then shuts down automatically.
The 121.5/243 MHz transmitter will continue to operate until the unit has exhausted the
battery power which will be at 50- 60 hours.
“Emergency locator transmitter” may be addressed, in some countries, as “Beacon” or
“Radio beacon”.
LIMITATIONS
The ELT can be operated on land or water.
Operating life: 121.5/243 MHz 60 hours, 406 MHz 24 hours
Operating temperature: –20°C to +55°C.
