AD: Ameri-King Corporation Emergency Locator Transmitters

AD NUMBER: 2017-16-01

PRODUCT: Certain Ameri-King Corporation emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) as installed on various aircraft.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY:  This AD was prompted by multiple reports of ELT failure and a report of noncompliance to quality standards and manufacturer processes related to Ameri-King Corporation ELTs.

This AD requires repetitive inspections of the ELT for discrepancies; repetitive checks, tests, and verifications, as applicable, to ensure the ELT is functioning; and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also allows for optional replacement of affected ELTs and, for certain aircraft, optional removal of affected ELTs.

COST: The FAA estimates this AD affects 14,500 ELTs installed on various aircraft of U.S. registry. The cost for the inspection is estimated to cost $170 per inspection cycle. Replacement, if necessary, is estimated to cost between $940 and $1,840 for parts and labor.

DATES: This AD is effective October 24, 2017.
