Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This exemption lets operators and pilots of high‑capacity aircraft skip the usual AMSA registration of emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) for specific delivery/manufacture flights.

It applies only when moving newly built aircraft from the factory, preparing them for delivery, or delivering them, with no paying passengers onboard and with required functioning beacons (either one fixed plus one portable ELT, or two portable ELTs). It reduces paperwork while keeping emergency equipment in place.
