SECTION 9 - SUPPLEMENTS
CESSNA
SUPPLEMENT 6
MODEL 172S NAV III
U.S.
FAA APPROVED
NORMAL PROCEDURES
When operating in a remote area or over hazardous terrain, it is
recommended that the ELT be inspected by an approved technician
more frequently than required by 14 CFR 91.207.
NORMAL OPERATION
1. Check that the remote switch (on the right instrument panel) is set
to the ARM position.
Normal operation of the C406-N from the flight crew station is only to
de-energize and arm the ELT after it has been accidentally energized
(no emergency).
The ELT can be energized by a lightning strike or hard landing. If the
red light above the remote switch is flashing and the aural warning is
heard, the ELT is energized. Check for the emergency signal on a COM
radio set to 121.5 MHz. To stop the transmissions, set the remote
switch to the ON position momentarily and then set to the ARM
position. Tell the nearest Air Traffic Control facility about the accidental
transmissions as soon as possible to hold search and rescue work to a
minimum.
PERFORMANCE
There is no change to the airplane performance when the Artex C406-
N ELT is installed.
