EASA ELT(DT) Mandate Delayed Two Years
EASA has postponed by two years a rule requiring large airplanes to be equipped with emergency locator transmitters with distress tracking capability.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued a draft rulemaking that will implement a two-year postponement of the requirement for certain large airplanes certified in Europe to be equipped with emergency locator transmitters with distress tracking capability (ELT(DT)). An ELT(DT) is designed to activate automatically in flight when it detects conditions indicative of a distress situation; the flight crew can also manually activate it.
