When returning your beacon for Service, view the product page on our website for the product you are shipping and select the “Downloads” tab at the bottom of the page in order to access the MSDS shipping documentation. Print a copy of the corresponding MSDS and bring it to your shipper.

A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) is a document issued by the Federal Aviation Administration approving a product (aircraft, engine, or propeller) modification. The STC defines the product design change, states how the modification affects the existing type design, and lists serial number effectivity. It also identifies the certification basis listing specific regulatory compliance for the design change. Information contained in the certification basis is helpful for those applicants proposing subsequent product modifications and evaluating certification basis compatibility with other STC modifications.

ARTEX does not hold any STC’s for any ELT installation or aircraft type. Artex recommends contacting the aircraft manufacturer for information regarding STC’s.

FAA STC’s and EASA STC’s to install ARTEX 406 MHz ELTs into aircraft are also available through EMTEQ and EAD Aerospace. Please select one of the links below for more information:
