(5) (Velcro Strap Installations Only) Tighten the Velcro strap around the ELT body (see Figure 23
Velcro Strap Installation & Inspection).
(a) Tighten the Velcro strap firmly around the ELT body. Pull loose end of strap with enough
force so that the stitched seam is aligned with the crown of the radius of the ELT case
(see Detail A). Press and smooth “hook” end of strap firmly into “loop” portion to ensure
a tight bond.
(b) Conduct an inspection of the Velcro strap per FAR Part 43, Appendix D. Check strap for
proper position and tightness. Check strap for debris that may inhibit the strap from
being fully engaged. Also check for cuts, abrasion, or any other damage to the strap.
Replace mounting tray assembly if any parts are damaged or worn.
(c) Repeat steps (a) and (b) each time the ELT is removed and re-installed in the mounting
tray.
