Hi, thank you for your reply, I read it but could not really comprehend it completely since I am not familiar with airbus. We have also two mobile elt which have to be manually activated but the third one is build in and is in the position armed at all times in flight, meaning it will start once a certain g-force was applied, happened even on some really hard landings...
That was the reason I was asking. I did not know that the Airbus has only mobile ELTs and no stationary built in ELT. In Boeing A/C the ELT has a own switch on the overhead panel with a three position switch on, off and armed, armed position being guarded.
Greetings
