did some searching and cant seam to find anything on if the ELT 121.5 can still be used. they still sell them, but is FAA requiring 406's? kind of stumped why they would still sell something that is obsolete.

Basically, yes they are allowed but pretty useless. They have been pushing for a mandatory transition, but none yet.

perfect ,thanks, i will upgrade in the future but im so close to get airworthiness i didnt want to mess with right at this point. love this sight its a true dictionary.
When I talked to my FAA inspector I asked the same question. He said that I could still use it and it will have to be replaced when purchasing new or getting it fixed !
