When I got my licence in 66, and again got  coml/multi in 69, They were not in use, at least not that I knew of. I never  flew again untill 2003, when of course they were required. Anyone know when they  first became availible/ requirement?  Charlie  Heathco

Canada was requiring around 1972. Congressmen Nick Begich(AK) and Hale 

Boggs(LA) disappeared on a flight in Alaska during 1972 campaign, and by 

the time I bought my first plane in spring of 1975 they were required in 

the US, as had to install one as part of pre-purchase. Don't believe any 

of the trainers I flew in 1973-74 getting my license had them.

My '73 Grumman AA-1B had one installed as original equipment.

I got my license in 1973 and bought a T-craft that year that had a EBC-102

ELT (the cheap yellow one with the swinging weight) so it was required by

then.

I'm pretty sure this was one of those regs that was issued with 

deadlines extended a couple times. It was rushed through sometime in 

early '73, with very little review of the TSO, right after the months 

and millions spent searching for the congressmen. Final deadline was 

some period longer, as most planes I looked at, shopping in late '74 to 

early '75 did not have them. Probably because it was in Alaska, and they 

typically got extensions on a lot of regs. They were around $200 back 

then, which was a chunk of change, compared to today.
