ELT Emergency Locator Transmitter Distress radio beacons, also known as emergency beacons, ELT or EPIRB, are tracking transmitters which aid in the detection and location of boats, aircraft, and people in distress. Strictly, they are radio beacons that interface with worldwide offered service of Cospas-Sarsat, the international satellite system for search and rescue (SAR).
ANNEX10, VOL III, Chapter 5 Emergency Locator transmitter for Search & Rescue 1. From 1 January 2005, emergency locator transmitters shall operate on 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz simultaneously. 2. States shall make arrangements for a 406 MHz ELT register
Registration Items 1. Export Certificate of Airworthiness issued by State of Design. 2. Export C of A or fresh C of A issued by exporting State. 3. Registration marks applied both side on fuselage. 4. Registration marks applied on both wings. 5. Registration marks applied to flight deck 6. Fireproof ID plate installed 7. Manufacturer s data plate conformity check 8. Mode-S code strapped in transponder 9. Mode-S code entered in ELT 10. DCA Form INS-16.008R1 (ELT) completed and submitted 11. Aircraft home base in a state acceptable to the DCA 12. Operator acceptable to the DCA 13. Aircraft home base same as operator s base of operations.
COSPAS-SARSATSARSAT Cospas-Sarsat is a satellite system designed to provide distress alert and location data to assist search and rescue (SAR) operations, using spacecraft and ground facilities to detect and locate the signals of distress beacons operating on 406 Megahertz (MHz). The position of the distress and other related information is forwarded by the responsible Cospas-Sarsat Mission Control Centre (MCC) to the appropriate national SAR authorities. Its objective is to support all organizations in the world with responsibility for Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, whether at sea, in the air, or on land.
COSPAS - SARSAT COSPAS; COsmicheskaya Systyema Poiska Aariynyich Sudov, which translates loosely into Space System for the Search of Vessels in Distress Sarsat ; Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking Cospas-Sarsat provides distress alert and location information to search and rescue authorities anywhere in the world for maritime, aviation and land users in distress.
COSPAS - SARSAT Cospas-Sarsat is made up of three Interconnected segments: Space Segment; 7 polar orbiting(leo) / 3 geostationary satellites(geo) Ground Segment; 39 LEOLUTs, 6 GEOLUTs, 22 MCCs User Segment
Basic Concept of the Cospas-Sarsat System
ELT activation 1. Distress call utilizing emergency beacon using 406 MHz ELT 2. Distress signal will be sent to COSPAS-SARSAT (Search & Rescue Satelite) 3. Satellite signal will be received by the local rescue terminal 4. The Local Rescue terminal request info from the state of registry. For AUA, the Netherlands. Coastguard in Groningen 5. Coastguard in Groningen will inform Coastguard NA. In Curacao Coastguard NA will inform DCA- Aruba by TINS Cell. 56-24040 State of Registry will check status of Aircraft with Owner/Operator and inform Coastguard NA
