OVERVIEW
1.2.1 Description
The Ameri-King AK-451-( ) Series is a FAA TSO’d approved, EASA ETSO’d
approved, 406 MHz ELT Emergency Locator Transmitter, Types (AF) Automatic
Fixed, (AP) Automatic Portable, (S) Survival. It transmits aircraft GPS/NAV position
data, immediately and accurately, on triple (406 Satellite /243 Military /121.5
Civilian) MHz frequencies. The supreme advantage feature is the aircraft GPS/NAV
Latitude / Longitude exact position shall be transmitted, within 1 minute, on the very
first burst, without waiting for a Polar Orbiting Satellite (could be up to 4 hours).
Enhance the accuracy significantly, for the ground search area, from 1-2 kilometers
(non GPS/ NAV Position) to 22 meters typical (with GPS/NAV Position). Having a
triple frequency insures your distress message reaches both NOAA Satellite
Operation and US Air Force AFSR Ground Operation, Search and Rescue Team, with
100% fully confidence, due to transmitting on both 243.0 MHz Military and 121.5
MHz Civilian bands, for immediate ground search dispatch, narrowing the searching
time.
