Quick Answer

ELT compliance software is the platform CAMO continuing airworthiness engineers and quality assurance managers use to evidence 406 MHz emergency locator transmitter compliance across a fleet. InspectWrk tracks the 14 CFR 91. 207 12-month statutory clock, battery replacement-before dates, Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz registration, self-test and G-switch records, and the closure of any finding in one defensible record per unit serial number aligned to EASA Part-M.

What Is ELT Compliance Software, and How Do CAMO and Quality Teams Use It Across a Fleet?

Today ELT compliance status lives across task cards, a registration file, and a spreadsheet of battery dates, and the quality manager assembles the fleet picture by emailing each base. When a 12-month inspection lapses, a battery passes its replacement-before date, or a registration drifts out of date after a unit swap, nobody sees it until a check or an audit finds it. Across a fleet of mixed types, compliance status is never current in one place.

Before and After InspectWrk

What changes once ELT (emergency locator transmitter) compliance software runs on one mobile-first platform.

Before InspectWrk

  • The 12-month inspection due date is recalculated by hand and easy to miss before it lapses.
  • Registration references sit in a separate file that drifts out of date when a unit is replaced.
  • Battery replacement-before dates live in a spreadsheet nobody reconciles against the installed unit.
  • Quality manager assembles ELT compliance status by emailing each base for its records.
  • Records photocopied and searched by hand when the authority asks for ELT compliance evidence.

After InspectWrk

  • The statutory clock is tracked per unit with staged alerts and a clear compliant or due status.
  • Registration reference is held on the unit record and flagged for update when the unit changes.
  • Each ELT shows a compliant or expired battery status with staged alerts before it falls due.
  • Live dashboard shows compliant, due, and overdue ELT status across every tail number.
  • Scoped, timestamped compliance pack exports per tail number for the auditor in minutes.

How Does ELT Compliance Run from Statutory Clock to Regulator Evidence?

CAMO and quality teams follow this loop for the statutory 91.207 clock, registration evidence, battery expiry, and regulator readiness.

  1. 1

    Tag Every ELT by Serial Number

    Assign QR identity to each 406 MHz emergency locator transmitter so it carries its statutory clock, registration, and battery status.

  2. 2

    Set the Statutory Clocks

    Configure the 14 CFR 91.207 12-month interval and the battery replacement-before date so each shows a clear compliant or due status.

  3. 3

    Hold Registration Evidence

    Record the Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz registration reference on the unit and flag it for update whenever the unit changes tail.

  4. 4

    Capture Compliance Evidence

    Self-test, inspection, and battery records are logged against the unit with photos and named sign-off as evidence.

  5. 5

    Export the Compliance Pack

    A branded compliance pack exports per tail number, with findings closed and verified, when the authority asks.

Frequently Asked Questions About ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) Compliance Software

How does ELT compliance software track the 14 CFR 91.207 statutory clock?

The 12-month inspection interval set by 14 CFR 91.207 is tracked as a statutory clock per ELT, so each unit shows a clear compliant or due status rather than a date someone must recalculate. The platform raises staged alerts before the interval lapses, letting the CAMO team plan the inspection into a visit. Because the clock is tied to the specific serial number and tail, a beacon that moves between aircraft keeps its own compliance state. This removes the common failure where the due date drifts on a card and the statutory interval lapses unnoticed, which would be a direct airworthiness finding against the operator at the next check.

Can it hold the Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz registration reference?

Yes. Each ELT record holds its 406 MHz registration reference with the national authority, such as NOAA in the US or the relevant CAA, alongside the unit serial number, battery status, and inspection clock. When a beacon is replaced or moves to another tail, the record flags that registration may need updating, so a unit does not sit in service with stale registration data. A stale registration can delay correct search and rescue tasking if the beacon ever activates, so keeping it current matters. Holding registration next to the compliance evidence reduces the chance of a mismatch surfacing during an audit or after an unintended activation.

How does it evidence battery expiry compliance?

Each emergency locator transmitter shows a compliant or expired battery status based on its replacement-before date from the manufacturer's CMM, tracked per serial number. The platform raises staged alerts before the date falls due, so the battery is planned rather than discovered overdue. A beacon past its replacement-before date is non-compliant the moment it dispatches, so the status view makes that visible to the quality team before it becomes a finding. The battery change, once done, is logged with photo evidence and named sign-off against the unit, so the compliance trail shows not just the current status but the full replacement history.

What compliance evidence can we produce for an FAA or EASA audit?

Every self-test, 12-month inspection, battery change, registration update, and finding closure is stored with a timestamp, the named person, and photo evidence against the specific serial number and tail. When an auditor asks for ELT compliance evidence, you export a scoped, branded compliance pack per aircraft covering the audit window in minutes. The pack shows the 91.207 clock status, battery expiry status, registration reference, self-test records, and the closure of any finding with verified sign-off. This replaces the photocopy-and-search routine that binders force, and the evidence is consistent across every base in the fleet rather than assembled from separate spreadsheets.

How does the fleet compliance dashboard help the quality team?

The dashboard rolls up compliant, due, and overdue ELT status across every tail number, so the quality manager sees fleet compliance at a glance instead of emailing each base for its records. Filters by type, base, and clock let the team focus on the units approaching a statutory due date or a battery expiry. Anything overdue is visible immediately, not discovered at the next check. This gives the operator a current, single source of ELT compliance truth, rather than a status picture that is always a few days stale because it was assembled by hand from separate base records.

Does the platform work offline so evidence is captured at the unit?

Yes. Capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters in the hangar, on the line, and at remote stands where signal is weak. Line teams log self-test, inspection, and battery evidence at the unit while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. Capturing evidence at the point of work, with the correct timestamp, keeps the compliance trail accurate rather than reconstructed later from memory. This matters because compliance evidence assembled after the fact is exactly the kind of trail an auditor probes, whereas point-of-work capture stands up to scrutiny.
