A delayed one- to two-second tone will be heard in the headset (if plugged
into the control unit) when the test switch is pressed and held. The tone will
then stop and the needle will move into the green arc on the meter and stay
there as long as the switch is pressed.
The erase switch may be used to erase the entire recording after a routine flight,
and will only work when the landing gear is down and the weight of the airplane
is on the landing gear. To prevent accidental erasures, a time delay circuit
makes it necessary to hold the erase switch down for two seconds to start the
erasure process. If a headset is plugged into the control unit, a proper erasure
is indicated by a tone in the headset that occurs when the erase switch is
released. The tone will last for approximately 5 seconds.
EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT) WITH REMOTE
SWITCH
(FL-80 AND AFTER; FM-5 AND AFTER; FN-1 AND AFTER)
Delivered by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation or Installed by Kit 130-3402-3,
130-3408-1 or 130-3408-3:
The Artex 110-406 or Artex C406-2 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) Sys-
tem, if installed, is designed to meet the requirements of TSO C91a and C126.
The system consists of the ELT transmitter and an alert horn located in the aft
fuselage area, an antenna mounted on the aft fuselage, and a remote switch
with a yellow transmit light located on the left cockpit sidewall next to the OAT
gage. The purpose of the alert horn is to notify personnel that the ELT has been
activated. The remote switch is lever-locked in the ARM and the ON positions.
Neither this switch nor the switch on the ELT transmitter can be positioned to
prevent the automatic activation of the ELT transmitter. The system is indepen-
dent from other airplane systems except for the transmit light, which is hot-wired
to the airplane battery, and the edge lit panel, which is controlled by the side
panel light’s rheostat located on the overhead panel.
Upon activation, the ELT will sound the alert horn and transmit a sweeping tone
on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz. An additional frequency of 406.025 MHz is also trans-
mitted, which is used by orbiting satellites to assist in determining airplane loca-
tion. This activation is independent of the remote switch setting or availability of
airplane power. The remote switch is installed to perform the following functions:
• Test the ELT.
• Deactivate the ELT if it has been inadvertently activated by the “G” switch.
• Activate the ELT in an in-flight emergency if an off-airport landing is antic-
ipated.
• Activate the ELT after an off-airport landing, if the impact did not automat-
ically activate it.
The ELT should be tested once a month using the following procedures. Testing
in excess of once a month is not recommended, as it will shorten the battery life.
