Minor modification for portable ELT installation

Aerospace Engineering Solutions introduces a minor modification for portable ELT installation to address EASA requirements with non-rechargeable lithium batteries (NRLB), eliminating the need for STC applications.

Meeting EASA requirements

EASA CAT.IDE.A.280(a) states that all aircraft with a Maximum Operational Passenger Seating Configuration (MOPSC) exceeding 19 must be equipped with at least one automatic ELT, with the provision of two for aircraft with Certificates of Airworthiness (CofA) issued before July 1, 2008. Automatic ELTs might be portable with lithium batteries as part of their design. Lithium batteries ETSO C142b non-compliant installation requires an STC application.

Minor modification for maximum impact

AES offers a minor modification package compatible with all aircraft types. Our comprehensive solution includes engineering support, portable ELT (Oriola) compliant with ETSO C142b, and an installation kit comprising bracketry and placards designed to meet NRLB installation requirements.

Benefits for operators and lessors

The beauty of the AES solution lies in its simplicity. Operators and leasing companies can now fully comply without the STC application process. This minor modification not only ensures compliance but also offers flexibility for fleet-wide adaptations or individual aircraft adjustments in the most cost-effective manner.
