I am bound to say that where my personal survival  is concerned, the CAA and powers that be can take a running jump  !!!

  

 If an illegal ELT ensures I am found quickly before  I die from hypothermia then I am happy to take them on in the courts  afterwards.

  

 The authorities would be foolish (to say the least)  if they considered prosecuting an airman who saved both his and his passengers  life in this manner. The press would make mincemeat of them and the worst  penalty a court is likely to hand out would be a suspended  sentence.

  

 Maybe that' naivety on my part.

Interesting point, because the amendments to the  ANO that caused all this fuss also carries an element of target setting (i.e  pilot responsible for ensuring satisfactory measures carried or adopted,  compatible to the circumstances of the flight/terrain flown over) and  duty of care (to passengers).

  

 Further, once you have ditched and climbed aboard  your life raft (or are sitting on the plane, if it floats(!)), are you a  boat or a 'plane or otherwise distinguishable from the average mariner in  distress?
