This proposed AD was prompted by multiple reports of ELT failure. This proposed AD was also prompted by a report of noncompliance to quality standards and manufacturer processes related to Ameri-King Corporation ELTs. Failure to adhere to these standards and processes could result in ELTs that do not function. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the ELT for discrepancies; repetitive checks, tests, and verifications, as applicable, to ensure that the ELT is functioning; and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD also allows for optional replacement of affected ELTs and, for aircraft on which an ELT is not required by operating regulations, optional removal of affected ELTs. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct nonfunctioning ELTs, which could delay or impede the rescue of the flightcrew and passengers after an emergency landing. 81 FR 35657 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-06-03/2016-12852 2016-12852 fr03jn16-23 RIN 2120-AA64 4910-13-P Docket No. FAA-2016-6673 Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-092-AD https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-06-03/2016-12852 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-06-03/html/2016-12852.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-06-03/pdf/2016-12852.pdf Air Transportation Aircraft Aviation Safety Incorporation by Reference Safety 5 p. 35657 35661 81 FR 35657 Title 14 Part 39 14 CFR Part 39 RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Ameri-King Corporation Emergency Locator Transmitters; Federal Register Vol. 81, Issue PRORULE 2016-12852 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 2016-07-18 Docket No. FAA-2016-6673 Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-092-AD 4910-13-P 2016-12852 Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
