Bryon Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 OK, I have looked everywhere and cannot find a definitive answer to the following question: What is the due date for the compulsory carriage of ELBs in Rec aircraft? i_dunnoi_dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Crezzi Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 There is no due date yet - the current exemption are in CAO 95.10/32/55 so carriage won't become mandatory until sometime after these have been reissued. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidh10 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Why wouldn't you want to be found if you had a bad off-field landing somewhere? It's not like a PLB is all that expensive. I bought one with a GPS (without is not worth a cracker) and a GPS as soon as I bought an aircraft. I figure it is just basic equipment. Carry them every time I fly.
