What does Part 91 mean when it talks about an ELT Emergency Locator Transmitter needing to be inspected at 50% of the useful life of its battery? As a pilot, how do you know when 50% is used? This quick video answers that question.

Very important disclaimer: ALWAYS follow ELT manufacturer procedures when inspecting your ELT! Do NOT just inspect your ELT and inadvertently trigger search and rescue by not following proper inspection procedures. This video is NOT intended to teach you to do any type of maintenance inspection!
