Note: If there is no programming command input in this time window, the ELT will
enter the Self-Test mode, and you cannot program the ELT. In this case, set the ELT
switch to “OFF” position and start again from step 2.2.
Step 5: To read ELT ID: Use command “ 03 “
Step 6: View message, ensure that all applicable information is correct (country
code, aircraft ID, etc.).
Step 7: The 15 digit ID hex ID (for example "2E28598228FFBFF") should match
what is shown on the ELT product label. This is the 15 digit hex ID (Unique
Identification Number or "UIN") that is used to register the ELT.
3.1.9
Verification of Registration
Note:
This verification is not mandatory per FAR 91.207(d) however Ameri-King
strongly recommends that it be performed as part of periodic maintenance, at
least every year.
Check ELT for signs of registration.
In the US, NOAA supplies a beacon registration label that is applied to the ELT when
it is registered. The following address should be used to register and obtain
information on how to register 406 MHz ELT's in the United States:
SARSAT BEACON REGISTRATION
E/SP3, RM 3320, FB-4
NOAA/NESDIS
5200 Auth Rd.
Suitland, MD 20746-4304

The Ameri-King website also contains information on registering beacons in other
countries

NOTICE; FOR ELTS THAT HAVE A COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION OTHER
THAN THE USA, PLEASE CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE CIVIL AVIATION
AUTHORITY IN THAT COUNTRY FOR GUIDELINES AND
DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO ASSURE PROPER REGISTRATION
Logbook Entry:
Enter the date the test technician's initials and whether the ELT passed or failed into
the aircraft's logbook.
3.1.10
Verification of ELT/GPS interface (if equipped)
Note:
This test is not mandatory per FAR 91.207(d) however Ameri-King strongly
recommends that it be performed as part of periodic maintenance, at least every
year.
3.1.10.1 ELT to GPS Interface Information
For details on the operation and use of the ELT Computer Test Set TS-451, please
contact Ameri-King Corporation to request the brochures and Operation Manual for
the ELT Computer Test Set.
When used with ELT's that are programmed for Standard Location 24 bit protocol,
the ELT to be program itself to the aircraft's 24 bit address. This feature will allow the
ELT to be transferred between aircraft. This makes maintenance of the ELT a simple
matter of replacing the ELT. Note: There is no electronic connection between TCAS
or Mode S systems and the ELT, only the ID number is common.
The AK-451 receives position data (longitude and latitude) from the aircraft's on-
board GPS system. The ELT may be programmed with the aircraft's 24 bit address.
When used with ELT's that are programmed for long message 24 bit protocol, which
is set up to match the 24 bit address parity of the Mode S surveillance and
communications system switch block.
Note: There is no electronic connection between TCAS or Mode S systems and the
ELT, only the ID number is common. This feature was implemented in the ELT with
fleet operators in mind. ELT's are programmed with either a serialized or 24 bit
protocol. The ELT transmits position data as part of the 406.025 MHz distress
message.
In the event of a crash, the ELT will transmit the converted position information from
the navigation system, such as the GPS flight management computer, loran, etc.
Geostationary satellites constantly monitor the 406.025 MHz transmissions. The crash
