10 MAY 07: ELT CONFUSION

THE CAA has given an exemption allowing light aircraft to fly without an ‘approved’ emergency locator transmitter (ELT).

It follows confusion over a new rule in January which said all aircraft flying more than 10 minutes from the coast need ‘approved’ equipment instead of ‘suitable’ equipment.

Whilst the carriage of lifejackets, life-rafts and supplemental oxygen will still be required, the CAA intends to issue a general exemption stating that this equipment need not be approved. Personal Locator Beacons (PLB), such as McMurdo’s Fastfind, can be used in lieu of an ELT whilst a further review is undertaken.
