FAA Form 337
For installations that are considered a “major alteration”, an FAA Form 337 will be
required. Information regarding the completion of Form 337 can be found in Advisory
Circular AC 43.9-1E. This Manual constitutes FAA approved data as described in AC
43.9-1E, paragraph (h)(2) and AC 43-210, chapter 2, paragraph 201(a)(6) for major
alterations. Not all installations are “major”; consult an FAA designee or regional office
for clarification. Generally, the installation of the SLB 406 will not require a Form 337 but
contact you local Flight Standards District Office if in doubt.

A Radio Station License is not required by the FCC for Emergency Locator Transmitters
(ELTs). See the FCC web site at

FCC Form 605 which replaced FCC Form 404 in 1999 is not required for ELTs.

When a 406 MHz ELT is installed in an aircraft, it is imperative that the aircraft owner
