consists of an oxygen cylinder and regulator, filter valve,
pressure gauge, outlets for masks and an on-off control mounted on the instrument panel. The

the United States must be equipped with an ELT which meets the applicable requirements of TSO-
C91

The ELT battery must be replaced if the transmitter has been used in an emergency, or af'ter one
hour of accumulated testing time, or if the unit has been inadvertently activated for an
undetermined period of time, or after half of the usefil life has expired. The battery expiration
date is marked on the outside of the ELT case.

after each flight to make certain that the unit has not been accidentally
activated. Check by tuning a radio receiver to 121.5 and listening for an oscillating sound. If the
ELT has been activated, it should be turned off immediately.

of
the ELT should be conducted only in the first five minutes of the hour, and limited to
