Application and Equipment Limitation.
This manual constitutes FAA approved data as described in AC 43.9-1E, paragraph
(h)(2) and AC 43-201, chapter 2, paragraph 201(a)(6) for major alterations. Not all
installations are “major”; consult your local FAA ACO for clarification.
In Canada, Installation of an ELT in an aeronautical product is carried out under a
Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). This is a separate regulatory requirement and
should therefore be in a separate document manual for the Operations and Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness (ICA).
The conditions and tests required for TSO approval of this article are minimum
performance standards. It is the responsibility of those desiring to install this
article on a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft
installation conditions are within the TSO standards. TSO articles must have
separate approval for installation in an aircraft. The article may be installed
only if further evaluation by the applicant documents an acceptable installation
and it is approved by the FAA Administrator. The article may be installed only
if performed under 14 CFR parts 43 or the applicable airworthiness
requirement. For installations outside of the US, contact your local civil aviation
authority for guidance (Ref. TSO-C126 paragraph D).
Lithium battery safety concerns include the possibility of fire, venting violently,
and venting of toxic gases (Ref. TSO-C126 paragraph 5.a.(2)).
The AK-451 ELT described in this manual was designed, tested and certified as a
complete system including the following components:
