 Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2010 1:21 am Post subject: ELT mount for free, anyone? |
 |
|
I just replaced my ELT by a PLB, now this is allowed in the Netherlands.
(PM me if you want to know more, only one specific brand of PLB is
acceptable as an ELT replacement).
The ELT mount I took out is available if anyone is interested.
The mount was made for an Artex ME406 (but any other ELT will fit), it
is an aluminium construction that fits just behind the D-panel on the
starboard side, so the ELT is level with the D-opening for easy access.
The mount carries also the antenna, and the mount itself is tuned as a
ground plane for the antenna. It is light weight but designed to
withstand at least a survivable crash.
It has two horizontal legs in a V which are attached against the rear of
the D-panel, one vertical support leg to the floor, and one long
perforated strip reaching about 3 feet into the tail, for taking up
decelleration forces and its length is carefully tuned so it acts as a
ground plane radial for the antenna at the same time.
Available for free.
I can take it with me to the Texel fly in, but I'm also willing to ship
it if you care for the shipping costs.
If no-one is interested I will bore out the anchor nuts and scrap the rest.

Frans,
Darn Dutch people - l spend 5 weeks out of the air to fit an ELT (specifically for Holland) and they go and change the rules! Refit was more than just an ELT of course!
I fitted a Kannad 406 with panel switch.
What is the PLB allowed?
