A hand-held 'Survival ELT' per ICAO definition IS explicitly stated in the ANO (as amended) to be an acceptable means of compliance
I realise that a handheld unit isn't banned as such and is thus permitted but where is the ICAO bit? All I see is CAA/EASA type approval which is nothing to do with ICAO.
This is a totally stupid regulation especially w.r.t oxygen systems.
I am on N-reg so it doesn't affect me but if I was on G-reg I would be seriously cheesed off about getting shafted in this way.
