I am planning to fly to Canada this summer (July) and have a couple questions:
1) Anybody have an update on the latest regs? A few days ago I read that the Transport Canada minister was going to sign a new reg requiring the 406 for transient pilots from outside the country, but didn't see any effective date for this legislation.
and related:
2) Anyone have suggestions/reviews on the 406 ELTs available out there? I currently have an Ameriking 450 and am thinking of replacing it with a 451. Will the antenna and panel switch still work or do these need replacing as well as the unit? I cannot find any info on this on the Ameriking website other than "its a direct replacement"
Thanks in advance for any info.
