25-61 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
A. Description
The ELT activates when subjected to a significant change in velocity (as in a crash),
by remote control switch located on the cyclic control panel, or by a switch on the
ELT transmitter. Refer to § 96-90 for system description.
Refer to Kannad Aviation AF Integra / AF-H Integra or 406 AF-Compact/406 AF-
Compact (ER) ELT Installation and Operation Manual for maintenance requirements
and procedures. Refer to § 5-20 for scheduled maintenance.
Register an ELT when first purchased, when contact information changes, or when

Dongles contain a memory chip that must be programmed with aircraft-specific
information prior to installation for the ELT to function. The dongle may be removed
and shipped to RHC or a Kannad Service Center for reprogramming. Kannad Aviation’s
Programming Data Sheet is available online at: www.robinsonheli.com.
