During a flight, your helicopter experiences an emergency and crashes in a remote area. What is the primary purpose of activating the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)?
To alert nearby aircraft to provide immediate assistance
To maintain communication with the base unit for ongoing support
To automatically deploy survival equipment stored in the aircraft
To send a distress signal that helps search and rescue teams locate the crash site
The primary function of an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) is to emit a distress signal to aid in the location and rescue of the crew and patients by search and rescue teams. This signal is detected by satellites and ground stations, enabling the timely dispatch of rescue operations to your crash site. While other devices and procedures may also be used in an emergency, the ELT is specifically designed for sending out a distress signal.
