ELT

[JHD]

Is an ELT required equipment in an experimental airplane?

For an Experimental-Amateur Built, yes if you have more than one seat. Just about every other form of experimental: R&D, to show compliance with regs, exhibition, air racing, market surveys is exempt.

Thank you. I was reading an FAA safety magazine and it made the statement that it was not needed.
