ED Decision 2025/010/R

SURVIVAL ELT (ELT(S))

(a) An ELT(S) is an ELT that can be removed from a VCA. The ELT(S) should be so stowed as to facilitate its ready use in an emergency. The ELT(S) should be activated manually by a survivor or automatically. The automatic activation of an ELT(S) should result from water immersion.

(b) The ELT(S) should be carried:

(1) on a crew member; or

(2) on a passenger or in a life raft; or

(3) adjacent to an emergency exit used for the evacuation of the VCA in an emergency.

(c) An automatic portable ELT (ELT(AP)) may be used to replace one required ELT(S) provided that it meets the ELT(S) requirements. A water-activated ELT(S) is not an ELT(AP).
