(1) Fixed wing aircraft
The G-Switch sensor axis shall be pointed to sense the primary crash
pulse along the longitudinal axis of the aircraft (with maximum tolerance of
15°). Consequently, the KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT shall be mounted
with the arrow of the "Flight direction" label pointed towards the front of the
aircraft.

on helicopter. The ELT unit should be mounted:
• with the front face connectors pointing downwards at a 45° angle to
the yaw axis;
• and with "Flight direction" arrow towards the front of the helicopter.
NOTE: Should the KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT be installed onboard
helicopter, it will be necessary to make a special mounting base to install
the ELT.
