Airworthiness Notice - B014, Edition 5 - 28 March 2002
Emergency Locator Transmitters and Batteries
(This Airworthiness Notice supersedes AN No. B014, Edition
4,
dated 20 November 1998)
This notice provides an updated listing of approved emergency locator
transmitter (ELT) batteries and their replacement battery packs. This approval
is based on Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Standard Order (TSO)
Approval and the procedures established in Radio Technical Commission for
Aeronautics Document No.DO-188, Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) Batteries
Guidance and Recommendations.
Although FAA has published a new TSO C142 dated April 4, 2000 for lithium
batteries including lithium sulphur dioxide batteries (based on RTCA Document
DO-227), Airworthiness Directive (AD) CF-81-29R2 on Emergency Locator
Transmitters (ELTs), which prohibits the installation of lithium sulphur dioxide
batteries on ELTs, is still applicable.
As explained in the AD, it is possible to use lithium batteries other than
lithium sulphur dioxide batteries in ELTs provided those batteries have the
original part numbers. Lithium batteries, approved under this category are also
included in the listing.
- Eligible ELTs
Aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs) and owners are reminded that ELTs are
designated as radio equipment, and as such must be listed in the Industry
Canada (IC) Radio Equipment List (REL) to be eligible for installation in
Canadian registered aircraft, provided that airworthiness requirements are
met. This requires that the equipment meet the relevant TSOs and the
requirements of the Airworthiness Manual (AWM) Chapter 551.
Reference should be made to IC for the current list of approved units
(telephone (613) 990-4698). Hard copy of this document is not available.
However, the document can be obtained through the Internet site:
strategis.ic.gc.ca.
URL http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/rz00010e.html
This URL guides you to the database of REL and a search by the
specification code RSS 147 and RSS 187, will provide list of ELTs approved by
IC.
For convenience, all the ELTs presently approved by IC and TC for airborne
usage are listed with the manufacturer's name as identified in REL . Where the
manufacturers' name (as identified in REL) has changed, the new name is shown
in parenthesis.
- Batteries
Only approved batteries as listed in Schedule A may be installed in an ELT.
The battery expiration date shall be marked externally on the ELT case.
Batteries shall be replaced or recharged in accordance with the requirements
of AWM 551.
Owners/operators considering battery substitution are advised to contact
the ELT manufacturer or its representative since replacement of the ELT
manufacturer's battery with another approved battery may void the ELT
warranty.
Where an ELT currently has a battery installed which is no longer listed,
that battery shall be replaced during the next annual inspection of the ELT,
or at the next visit to an ELT repair facility.
