EXPOSURE TO HARSH CHEMICAL FLUIDS SUCH AS DEICING COMPOUNDS. THESE
TYPES OF CHEMICAL FLUIDS CAN PROMOTE CRACKING AND FRACTURING OF THE
ELT MOUNTING FRAME AND HOUSING COMPONENTS BY DEGRADING THE
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THESE COMPONENTS. THESE SAME CHEMICAL AGENTS
MAY ALSO CAUSE CORROSION OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
(1) Select a suitable location for the ELT mounting tray. See Figure 13. Refer to these dimensions
when determining mounting location.
Figure 13 C406-2 Series ELT Outline and Dimensions
(2) Locate the mounting tray such that the ELT mounting frame cap has at least 5 inches (127
mm) of clearance for installation and removal.
(3) Mount the ELT as far aft as practical, but where it can be easily retrieved for maintenance.
NOTE: Statistics show that the tail section of an airplane is likely to be less damaged during
a crash; therefore, providing a good mounting environment for the ELT.
(4) Additional installation guidance may be found in AC 43.13-2, Chapter 2, Paragraph 28, which
specifically addresses ELT installations.
