The Next Generation of ELT
The latest upgrade to the HR Smith 503 ELT series utilises the Iridium satellite network to provide an independent aircraft tracking and alerting function.
The addition of the Iridium service to the existing full Cospas/Sarsat coverage and transmission of last known GPS co-ordinates hugely increases the probability of accurately locating downed aircraft. The Iridium module allows for live aircraft tracking and can be programmed to activate the ELT under abnormal events.
