13.5.1 ELT Description
The Emergency Location Transmitter, ELT, sends a distress radio signal and a GPS location in case of
an accident. The ELT system includes the transmitter, transmitter battery, test/reset switch, audio
alert horn, and antenna. The ELT antenna is located at the top of the engine cowl. (See Figure 13-8.)
The transmitter and battery are located beneath the center console panel, forward of the throttle
handle. (See Figure 13-9.) The audio alert and switch are in the overhead center console.
CAUTION: Do not trigger a false alert when handling the ELT. According to
Search and Rescue Satelite Aided Tracking (SARSAT), a majority
of ELT false alerts occur during testing and maintenance. Call
1-800-851-3051 to cancel a false alert.
