4.3 FAA Form 337
All 406 ELTs require that new antennas be installed on the aircraft. This function requires that an
authorized A & P do the work and a FAA form 337 may be required. The installer should
determine if this constitutes a major or minor alteration.

Load the disc that comes with this unit and you will be prompted to complete the form 337. The
form has most of the information needed to comply with the latest FAA requirements. You can
go online to the FAA website and fill out the form. See



This website is generic in nature and does not contain any pertinent data for an ELT installation.

All information in the manual is considered to be “

acceptable data”

for the completion of all

FAA documents, including any 337 or STCs.

4.4 Weight and Balance Report
You must modify your weight and balance anytime equipment is removed or new equipment is
installed. Load the disc that comes with this unit and you will be prompted to complete this form
supplied by Emerging Lifesaving Technologies. This form meets the basic requirements of:

43.13 (Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices – Aircraft Alterations), specifically, Chapter 10

4.5 Radio Station License USA
The FCC does not require a radio station license for Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs).
