NATA ELT Survey The Federal Communications Commision (FCC) is considering imposing a ban on ELTs that transmit on the 121.5 MHz frequency, thus requiring aircraft owners to replace them with 406 MHz ELTs. Your completion of this brief survey will help NATA respond to this proposal and is appreciated. Question Title * 1. Are you an NATA member?

Please answer only if you have at least one ELT that transmits on 406 MHz. Is at least one of these 406 MHz ELTs enabled with built-in GPS? Yes No Question Title * 8.
