Aircraft communications transceivers are not capable of receiving 406 MHz transmissions;

therefore, the only methods of monitoring the ELT are:

(a)

The blinking cockpit remote switch LED,

(b)

The buzzer, or

(c)

121.5/243.0 MHz transmissions, which can be monitored using the aircraft

communications transceiver or an AM radio tuned to 121.5 MHz.
