Hi GregIt is required when you carry passangers, but not for the initial test phase. I just went ahead and installed it. I did also show the inspector my passangerseat belt but got an approval from him not to install it til test phase is complete.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: ELT RequirementThe ELT is not required to pass an annual inspection under FAR part 45. It is required for operating an aircraft more than 50 miles from home base under Part 91. In other words.... its not the mechanic or inspector's responsibilityto ensure it is installed and operational. It is the PILOT'S responsibility.Terry B.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2004 09:04:43 -0500

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: ELT Requirementoops.... I meant part 43. And if installed, the inspector should include itin the annual inspection. But the installation is not required under part 43,so its not the inspectors responsibility to check for it.(i) Each person performing an annual or 100-hour inspection shall inspect(where applicable) the following components of the radio group: (1) Radio andelectronic equipment=E2=80=94for improper installation and insecure mounting. (2)Wiringand conduits=E2=80=94for improper routing, insecure mounting, and obvious defects.(3)Bonding and shielding=E2=80=94for improper installation and poor condition.=20(4)Antenna including trailing antenna=E2=80=94for poor condition, insecure mounting,andimproper operation. (j) Each person performing an annual or 100-hour inspectionshall inspect (where applicable) each installed miscellaneous item that is nototherwise covered by this listing for improper installation and improperoperation. The requirement to ensure an ELT is on board and operational is theresponsibility of the pilot under part 41.________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: ELT RequirementAs I read the regs, an inspector shouldn't withold signature for an annual inspection because of a lack of ELT. Its not his responsibility. If one is there, he should inspect it to make sure the installation is proper and doesn'tinterfere with operation of other installed equipment. But he cannot get written up for any violation for returning an aircraft to service without an ELT.On the other hand, the pilot could get written up for operating an airplane without an ELT as required under Part 91.________________________________________________________________________________
