.... And register it in your name with your contact info.
I can't believe they don't sync with the FAA when planes are degresitered.
My wife got "the call" Saturday. It was from the Coast Guard saying my ELT had gone off somewhere in California. While I told her I was going flying she didn't think it was to Santa Rosa! She about had a heart attack! How was she going to spend all that insurance money!
:lol:
I sold my RV-12 to a guy out there and didn't think to deregister the ELT from my name and have him re-register it. Heck, I don't remember registering it in the first place!
Anyway, save your self and your family a heart attack and deregister the 406 ELT is you sell a plane with one. If you buy a plane with one, make sure it is in your name with your contacts. It could save your life.
The problem is you have to have the ID to deregister it. I don't have any of that info.
