As a part of your annual, the FAR's require a function test of your ELT
as per FAR 91.207R, Item 1,2,3,&4. (and this notation in the A/C Log Book)
What it really means is to remove the ELT turn it to"auto" smack it
smartly on it's rear end and listen for the alarm on 121.5.  The "smack"
is supposed to simulate a deceleration as in a "crash".  If you want to
have a "legal fire wall forward" we have to play their game, plus other
notations concerning Mfgrs.Service Bulletins and of course AD's.  Don
