Subject: | Re: ELT and ELT antenna placement |
For the OP: my ELT is behind the baggage area bulkhead, attached to structure.
And the antenna is above it, external and vertical.
Now my question: Does anyone know how many people are really saved by ELTs in a
year? I mean really saved. If the person subsequently dies in a hospital, it
doesn't count. If the CAP homes in on an ELT and finds the pilot sitting on the
wing, talking to his wife via cell phone, it doesn't count. Now how many people
in the CAP die each year while looking for ELT signals? Is the net difference
a positive number? I don't know but I am curious.
