That makes good sense. I think there were some comments that the
EPIRB was the only locating equipment and ELT were not include in the mix.

Subject: [LML] Re: EPIRB vs. ELT
I bought an AquaFix 406 /GPS EPIRB
from life-raft.com for $583 on 02/15/05. I am sure that they cost less
now.
I bought the EPIRB for a flight to the Bahamas that I
never took. My beacon is registered for an aircraft at: beaconregistration.noaa.gov.
I have the EPIRB mounted behind the seats on my plane. I also still have my
ELT.
I don't understand the problem? If I crash, the ELT
goes off. If I am conscience, I set off the EPIRB. Here is a copy of the
registration:
