•Sources of general cabin illumination.

Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
Aeroplanes with more than 19 passenger seats must have;
1.one automatic emergency locator transmitter (ELT) or two ELTs of any type; or
2.two ELTs, one of which shall be automatic for aeroplanes first issued with an individual CofA after 1 July 2008.
Aeroplanes with up to 19 passenger seats must have;
1.one ELT of any type; or
2.one automatic ELT for aeroplanes first issued with an individual CofA after 1 July 2008.
All ELTs carried to satisfy the above requirements transmit on 121.5 MHz (international distress frequency, used for homing) and 406 MHz (SARSAT data uplink).
Survival Equipment
Aeroplanes operating over areas where SAR would be particularly difficult are to be equipped with:
•Signalling equipment to make the pyrotechnic distress signals as described in ICAO Annex 2.
•At least one ELT.
•Additional equipment for the route to be flown except when:
•The provision of SAR is not particularly difficult and the aeroplane remains within a distance corresponding to:
•120 minutes at the one engine out cruising speed for aeroplane capable of continuing the flight to an aerodrome with the critical power unit inoperative, or
•30 minutes at cruising speed for all other aeroplanes, or
•For aeroplanes certificated to EASA CS Part 25 or equivalent, no greater distance than that corresponding to 90 minutes at cruising speed from an area suitable for making an emergency landing.
