Although designed primarily for fixed wing, it can be fitted in a helicopter provided it is mounted 45? nose down.
Whilst the 406 AF COMPACT is designed primarily for fixed wing aircraft, it can be fitted in a helicopter provided it is mounted 45? nose down. This offers a lower cost solution than fitting a dedicated helicopter model, though the difference in cost may be eroded by additional installation expenses.
The 406 AF COMPACT is perfect for aircraft requiring a very compact automatic fixed ELT without breaking the bank. The robust and reliable shock sensor will automatically activate the ELT in the event of an impact; the pilot can also activate the ELT manually via a remote switch on the instrument panel.
