    Crash Position Indicator

    The need to accurately pinpoint downed aircraft through


    the use of a Crash Position Indicator (CPI) or Automatically
    Deployable Beacon (ADELT) has always existed. The
    increasing use of Cospas/Sarsat and Global Positioning
    System (GPS) has highlighted the need for a CPI which
    has expanded capabilities. The Techtest 503 Series of CPI
    includes full Cospas/Sarsat coverage together with the
    inclusion of transmission of last known GPS co-ordinates on
    the satellite 406MHz long message.

    aircraft protocol.
    Modular design of the system allows for ease of
    maintenance and multi-axis solid state G-Switch technology
    ensures relaible operation against CAA Specification 16.
    The 503-16 Series CPI Beacon can now be supplied with
    an FDR or HUMS Memory Module. The Beacon is directly
    interchangeable with existing units and will provide the
    operator with the additional features displayed overleaf.
