Installation
The ELT intended application is to be installed as part of a slide raft emergency system
used in commercial aircraft or other life raft application. Design of the ELT was based on
the assumption that the ELT would be inserted in a pocket in the raft. For automatic
activation, connect the Auto Activation Lanyard (as shown on page 39) to the raft such
that inflation of the raft will pull the Lanyard from the ELT.
Note: Installation of an Automatic Fixed “Type AF” ELT may also be required; contact
you local Flight Standards District Office (or applicable civil aviation authority
representative) if in doubt.
TSO C126 Paragraph D Requirements:

Note: Aircraft manufacturers may also have guidance on ELT installation; refer to and
