Certified worldwide, TSO and JTSO, the Kannad ELT is easy to install wherever you operate and wherever the aircraft is flying during its life. The Kannad ELTs are OEM by a number of prime aircraft manufacturers of fixed or rotary wings and deliver value for the retrofit market by easy installation, easy programming and fleet management capability.

A sophisticated “shock sensor” system will activate the ELT automatically in the event of a crash. When removed from the bracket and connected to the auxiliary antenna, the Kannad 406 AP becomes an autonomous survival beacon operating on 3 frequencies (121,5/243/406 MHz).
