On the 777-200ER, which slide/liferafts has the ELT attached?

• A. 1L and 4R
• B. 1R and 2L
• C. 2R and 3L
• D. 3R and 4L

Answer: (A)

The ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) is attached to the life-raft slide packs, so it activates and transmits when the raft inflates. On the 777-200ER, the raft-containing slide packs are located at the forward left door and the aft right door, and that's where the ELT is mounted. This placement ensures that, in a ditching, the beacon travels with the raft and can be located by rescue teams as soon as the raft is deployed. Other door slides may be non-raft or have no ELT mounted to their packs, so the ELT wouldn’t be associated with those.
