406 Mhz ELT's?
I'm a pilot who currently conducts short-range flights - however in the near future I will be flying much longer, much more remote charter flights - including stretches of hours over the Australian outback.
I want to invest in a high quality 406 Mhz ELT - as a portable device to take with me in whichever plane I take. I don't want to invest in the 121.5 system - it's outdated and being phased out - and for safety in such remote areas I want higher accuracy.
What brands of ELT should I look at? Which are best? I hear the ones with GPS tracking are even more accurate - are they worth it? Price is not really a concern for this instance as I don't wish to put a price on my life...but I want to know which are best - only ELTs though, that can be registered with the Australian SAR authorities (devices that don't meet Australian standards can't be registered - examples included a non-floating Canadian product)
Any help appreciated! Even if you're not sure of the Aus. regs!
I use these for commercial aircraft. Check out ARTEX.
I know that Qantas uses them on their domestic aircraft.
