ELT 5000 Distress Tracking (DT) For GADSS Compliance

ELT 5000 Distress Tracking (DT) For GADSS Compliance

Emergency Locator Transmitter with Distress Tracking (ELT-DT) in a Crash-Survivable package.

The ARTEX ELT 5000 provides the next evolution of ELT Distress Tracking technology to be approved to the new ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress Safety System (GADSS) requirements. ELT 5000 provides both in-flight tracking and post-flight localization in a single crash-resistant unit. When integrated as part of an Autonomous Distress Tracking system, like the ARTEX ADT 5000, the configuration fully complies with all of the ICAO and EASA GADSS requirements.

Now FAA TSO-C126c Approved

  • ELT 5000 (DT) is a fixed Emergency Locator Transmitter with Distress Tracking in a crash survivable package that is designed to meet the ICAO standards for aircraft distress tracking.
  • Harnessing the proven Cospas-Sarsat infrastructure, ELT 5000 provides an adaptable ELT footprint while adding the in-flight tracking capabilities to meet the new ICAO standards for aircraft distress tracking.
  • Triggered by a potential distress condition from independent aircraft monitoring, the 406 MHz ARTEX ELT 5000 (DT) intelligently activates and will automatically begin transmitting 406 MHz distress messages with the current location in real-time while the aircraft is in-flight.
  • ELT 5000 delivers First Generation ELT capabilities.
  • Lithium battery safety is accomplished with an innovative safety and venting containment system that assures continued airworthiness.
  • GNSS input is provided to the unit via a single-input combined 121.5/406 MHz and GNSS blade antenna.
  • When combined with an Autonomous Distress Trigger (ADT) like the ARTEX ADT 5000, the solution provides complete GADSS compliance as per EUROCAE ED-237 and ICAO recommendations.
The ARTEX ELT 5000 is the only GADSS-compliant solution available for US-manufactured transport aircraft throughout 2025, ensuring seamless compliance with ICAO’s safety mandates and enhancing global aviation safety. Learn More
