CHANGE A2 ICON A5-B / PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK
CHAPTER 7
The ELT remote control (5) interfaces with the ACK Technol-
ogies, Inc. model E-04 406 MHz emergency locating trans-
mitter. There are two buttons and a red LED indicator on this
control. The red ‘ON’ button activates the ELT. The black
‘OFF/TEST’ button deactivates the ELT if it is activated. If not
activated, the black ‘OFF/TEST’ button initiates an ELT
self-test during which the ELT transmits on 121.5 MHz for 1
second, (3 audio sweeps), then transmits a 406 MHz test burst
for 550 ms, and then returns to the armed mode. The red LED
indicator flashes when the ELT is activated.
Parachute Activation Handle
The parachute activation handle (6) is used for deploying the
IPS in an emergency. See the description of the IPS for further
details about the operation.
Interior Lighting
The interior of the A5-B aircraft is illuminated by an interior
lighting system consisting of the following lights.
• Two red LEDs, located on the forward LH side of the
overhead console (7), illuminate the instrument panel and
center stack console, and are individually controlled by
the two dimmers on the forward LH side of the overhead
console labeled “INSTR” (8) and “CONSOLE” (9),
respectively.
• Two red LEDs, located in the headset hangers in the
baggage compartment, illuminate the overhead console
and are controlled by a single dimmer labeled “OVER-
HEAD” (10) also located on the forward LH side of the
overhead console.
• A single white LED, located on the forward RH side of the
overhead console (11), illuminates the center stack
console and is controlled by a dimmer labeled
“CONSOLE” (12) on the forward RH side of the overhead
console.
• A dome light, located on the center of the overhead
console and consisting of a string of white LEDs (13), illu-
minates the cabin and baggage compartment and is
controlled by a switch labeled “DOME” (13) located just
aft of the light itself.
