Same text in the parag. 121.353 (b).
The 'survival type' ELT in the Indonesian regulations refers to a portable unit which would be manually activated by crew or passengers and is part of the life raft equipment.
The ICAO has ruled all carriers worldwide equip their aircraft with the 406Mhz ELTs. Carriers were recently given an extension to implement these installations. (I think by Jan 2007)
