These operators must now comply with the standard rules requiring ELTs and distress beacons on board.\n\n**Why it matters:** This removes a special permission that allowed some aircraft to fly without critical safety equipment. All previously exempted aircraft must now carry these devices, which help rescue services locate downed aircraft and save lives."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/casa-ex48-12-revocation-of-exemption-from-requirements-for-emergency-locator-transmitters-and-portab","history":"/api/acts/casa-ex48-12-revocation-of-exemption-from-requirements-for-emergency-locator-transmitters-and-portab/history","analysis":"/api/acts/casa-ex48-12-revocation-of-exemption-from-requirements-for-emergency-locator-transmitters-and-portab/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/casa-ex48-12-revocation-of-exemption-from-requirements-for-emergency-locator-transmitters-and-portab/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/casa-ex48-12-revocation-of-exemption-from-requirements-for-emergency-locator-transmitters-and-portab/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/casa-ex48-12-revocation-of-exemption-from-requirements-for-emergency-locator-transmitters-and-portab/documents"}}
