ACR Receives Expanded TSO Approval For ELT 5000

Adds Second Manufacturer And Fifth Aircraft Platform

ACR Electronics announced that its ARTEX ELT 5000 with distress tracking (DT) has been approved for its second FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) C126c certification for installation into transport aircraft made by a second commercial aircraft manufacturer.

The ARTEX ELT 5000 is designed to be compatible with the ICAO, EASA, and other global civil aviation standards.

The ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) initiative stipulates that commercial transport aircraft delivered beginning January 2025 must autonomously report their location during distress conditions anywhere in the world. The ARTEX ELT 5000 is engineered to meet those requirements and advances aviation safety technology by providing real-time, precise tracking capabilities that ensure faster responses during critical situations.

Key features of the ARTEX ELT 5000 include:

  • Autonomous Distress Tracking: Automatically activates during stress conditions while in flight and transmits location
  • Real-Time Distress Tracking Location Reporting: Uses GNSS tech to acquire aircraft’s location and send precise coordinates to Cospas-Sarsat while in flight
  • Seamless Avionics Integration: Interfaces with aircraft avionics systems for reliable activation and transmission
  • Global Satellite Coverage: Operates on the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network, ensuring worldwide monitoring and response capability

A significant advancement is the real-time in-flight location updates that enables search and rescue personnel to respond quickly and accurately to reduce search times in emergency scenarios. In addition, the ELT-5000 can quickly cancel alerts if the original distress event is resolved.
