Fire Extinguishers

Two portable hand-held fire extinguishers are installed in the airplane.  One 

extinguisher is located in the cockpit beside the copilot’s seat. The other extinguisher 

is located in the cabin behind the left-hand aft passenger’s seat and is accessible to all 

passengers.

The portable fire extinguishers are pressurized bottles containing a Halon Type 1211 

extinguishing agent. The bottles have an actuating valve operated by hand and the 

extinguishers are rated for Class B and C fires.

To operate fire extinguisher:

Emergency Locator Transmitter

The emergency locator transmitter (ELT) unit is located in the aft tail cone equipment.  

The unit is self-contained and battery powered.  An indicator light provides a visual 

indication of ELT operation.  A switch mounted in the unit and a cockpit switch 

provides control of the ELT.  The ELT cockpit switch panel is located on the instrument 

panel.  An inertia switch located within the ELT unit automatically activates the ELT 

unit.  Should an accident occur, the ELT unit would automatically transmit alert 

tones on the international distress frequencies of 121.5, 243 and 406 MHz. These 

frequencies are monitored by government monitoring stations, military, CAA, FAA and 

Coast Guard aircraft. The unit’s internal battery allows transmission of the emergency 

signal for at least 50 hours.  A flashing indicator light on the ELT unit adjacent to the 

connectors indicates ELT unit operation. In the cockpit, a flashing indicator light and 

an aural signal also indicate operation.  A reset switch, located in the cockpit, is used 

to stop ELT transmissions by electronically resetting the G switch, should the ELT be 

inadvertently triggered following a hard landing, sudden stop, or other reason.  Refer 

to the Maintenance Manual of your aircraft for more information on the ELT.
