ELTs

Is it not a requirement in the UK that aircraft carry an ELT ?..No it isn't. There was supposed to be a requirement coming in on Jan 1st requiring ELTs to be carried if more than 10 mins from land but as far as I can see, the ANO has not yet been ammended to make this law. Even if the ANO had been ammended, it would not have affected this flight as it was mainly over land and the over water bits would have been within 10 mins of the coast.
