Kannad Ameri-Fit ELT: Ameri-King Drop In

If you own one of the roughly 14,500 Ameri-King ELTs hit by an FAA AD (AD 2017-16-01) because the now-defunct company falsified that the system was FAA approved, ELT manufacturer McMurdo now has a relatively easy replacement option with its Kannad Ameri-Fit system.

If you own one of the roughly 14,500 Ameri-King ELTs hit by an FAA AD (AD 2017-16-01) because the now-defunct company falsified that the system was FAA approved, ELT manufacturer McMurdo now has a relatively easy replacement option with its Kannad Ameri-Fit system.

The Ameri-Fit is based on the company’s Integra AF 406 MHz ELT, but has a universal mounting bracket, the RC103 remote control panel and an adapter cable and coupler that are specifically designed for installations that already have an Ameri-King ELT.
