A standard process? or is ELT - 121.5 just a common frequency? You guys obviously know a bit more about the 406Mhz than me and everyone else in my class, I will catch up on it though. Am I correct to know that the 406 MHz is about 2,000 and the as known already ELT is only 200 dollars? I have been asked to look for a plane on the ground, didn't find him. He ran out of fuel, the Civil Air Patrol brought him back in a rather cool helicopter, and now everybody argues whether or not he'll ever fly for the airlines. He landed in a field hurting nobody, just embarassing. To me, my knowledge of the ELT is just a common frequency: you hear it, find the darn thing, and contact whoever necessary to settle the emergency, Civil Air, local police, pilots in the area? thanks again, ck Back to top Bob Gardner Guest Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 5:17 am    Post subject: Re: ELT question II You hear a signal on 121.5, report it to ATC, and they take it from there...notifying any and all authorities. Give them the best position you can. Best info I have is that 121.5 monitoring will go away in 2009. Bob Gardner "scupper79" <scupper79 (AT) msn (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Is there a Published Process?
