FCC Withdraws 121.5MHz ELT Phase-out | | |
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) withdrew its proposal to prohibit the certification, manufacture, importation, sale or use of emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) that transmit distress alerts on frequency 121.5 MHz. The FCC said that "no action will be taken regarding 121.5 MHz ELTs until further notice, following an additional opportunity for interested parties to comment."
The FAA held the position that the current supply of replacement 406 MHz ELTs is not sufficient to replace the existing 121.5 MHz versions and expressed concern with the costs involved in replacing the equipment. The FAA also said that the frequency still serves a purpose as it continues to be monitored by the search and rescue community.

Congratulations
Congratulations to Kevin who is the newest pilot in Keene! Kevin has shown tremendous patience as the final stages of his flight training were repeatedly interrupted by mother nature. Many days he sat at the window gazing longingly upon the wind whipped, snow consumed windsock. Kevin passed his checkride this week with DPE Greg Livernois. |
