Default ELT Message From FAA

Why bother with new batteries if the thing won't work and is no longer
required? Just yank it out.


The 121.5 MHz ELT will still broadcast the emergency tone on that frequency
after the cutoff date and there will still be overflying aircraft monitoring
121.5, no? Granted that odds of being located by ELT after an off-airport
landing just lowered in this case, but removing the unit altogether reduces
those odds to zero.
