    ELT's are required in all aircraft that can carry a passenger.

    Mine is single seat, therefore not required. Shows who the FAA really cares about in aircraft!

    14CFR 91.207(f)(9), to be exact.

    And, actually, to gently correct Frank, the exclusion is "Aircraft equipped to carry not more than one person." Doesn't matter if that second seat holds required crew or a passenger.

    No matter what their role, I refer to anyone in the right or backseat of an aircraft I'm in as hostages.

    When I die, I want to go quietly in my sleep like my Grandfather...not screaming in terror like his passengers. :-)

    I've been flying a single-seat aircraft almost exclusively for the past twenty years (and for a time before that). Occasionally, on Unicom, I'll refer to a Cessna 172 as a "Crowd Killer" or a "Cessna Heavy".....
