ELT Control Panel

Forgive me but what does the lettering at the top far left, near the red switch, say? That looks like ELT to me but my eyes can't make it out.


Might be BLT : )
Thanks Susier. I Did some research on the panel you refer to because the text on that panel was not readable from the ref. picture.

Indeed, it turns out to be the ELT control Panel. Not for a Honeywell ELT but for an ELTA ELT. As the document in the link below states:
"To be connected to any automatic ELT in A06 or ADT 406 range.":

So there is an ELT control panel installed in the MAS B772 fleet, this issue can be removed from the list. Question remains why the ELT was not activated. Without the facts the answer remains subject to speculation . . . . .519 pages of it in this thread and ongoing.
