What Is ELT Audit Software, and How Do Quality and CAMO Teams Use It Across a Fleet?
ELT audit software is the platform quality assurance managers and CAMO continuing airworthiness teams use to build defensible 406 MHz emergency locator transmitter evidence packs with full auditor traceability across a fleet. Inspectly360 stores every self-test, 12-month inspection, battery change, registration update, and finding against the unit serial number, so any record traces to the named person, the timestamp, and the photo when an auditor asks.
Today preparing for an ELT audit means days of photocopying task cards, chasing each base for missing records, and reconciling a findings list that has drifted from the actual evidence. When a card is missing or a check cannot be tied to the specific beacon and technician, the auditor records a gap as a finding. Across a fleet of mixed types, no one can say which tails are audit-ready without checking each base by hand, so every audit starts from scratch.
Inspectly360 replaces that with on-demand evidence on iOS and Android: every ELT record is captured against the serial with the named person, timestamp, and photo, findings carry corrective actions with owners and deadlines, and a scoped, branded evidence pack exports per tail number in minutes. A live dashboard shows record completeness and open findings across the fleet, so audit readiness is continuous rather than a scramble before each visit.
- FAA 14 CFR 91.207 sets the inspection interval and battery rules auditors check against for emergency locator transmitters: 14 CFR 91.207
- Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz registration and EASA Part-M continuing airworthiness frame the ELT audit scope: EASA Part-M and 406 MHz registration
How Does an ELT Audit Run from Evidence Capture to Auditor Pack?
Quality and CAMO teams follow this loop for traceable evidence capture, finding closure, and on-demand auditor packs.
- 1
Tag Every ELT by Serial Number
Assign QR identity to each 406 MHz emergency locator transmitter so every record traces to the unit, the person, and the time.
- 2
Capture Traceable Evidence
Self-tests, inspections, and battery changes are logged with photos, named sign-off, and timestamps against the serial.
- 3
Track Findings to Corrective Action
Each audit finding carries a corrective action with an owner, a deadline, and verified closure on the record.
- 4
Monitor Audit Readiness
A live dashboard shows ELT record completeness and open findings across every tail so gaps are closed early.
- 5
Export the Auditor Pack
A scoped, branded evidence pack exports per tail number in minutes, covering the audit window the auditor asks for.

Access and Roles
Quality teams get pack export and finding management, auditors get scoped read access, and line teams get evidence capture per tail number through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Teams Build Evidence Packs with Full Traceability?
The platform capabilities that power elt (emergency locator transmitter) audit software across every site.
On-demand Evidence Pack Export
A scoped, branded ELT evidence pack exports per tail number in minutes. Why it matters: days of photocopying before an audit becomes a single export the auditor can use.
Per-serial Traceability
Every record traces to the unit serial, the named person, the timestamp, and the photo. Why it matters: a check that cannot be tied to the beacon and technician is a finding waiting to happen.
Finding and Corrective Action Tracking
Each finding carries a corrective action with owner, deadline, and verified closure. Why it matters: a finding list that drifts from the records is the gap an auditor exploits.
Complete Record Retrieval
Every self-test, inspection, and battery change is retrievable against the unit history. Why it matters: a missing card during an audit is recorded as a non-conformance.
Audit Readiness Dashboard
Record completeness and open findings roll up across tail numbers. Why it matters: the quality manager knows which tails are audit-ready without checking each base.
Scoped Auditor Access
An auditor gets read-only access scoped to the records in scope. Why it matters: the auditor self-serves evidence without the quality team rebuilding it by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions About ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) Audit Software
How does ELT audit software build an evidence pack for an auditor?
Every ELT record, the self-test, the 12-month inspection, the battery change, the registration update, and any finding, is stored against the unit serial number with a timestamp, the named person, and photo evidence. When an auditor asks for ELT records, you select the tails and the audit window and export a scoped, branded evidence pack in minutes. The pack presents the complete history per beacon in a consistent format, so the auditor reads it directly rather than waiting while the quality team photocopies and assembles cards. This turns days of preparation into a single on-demand export, and the same pack format is reused for every audit across the fleet.
How does it provide traceability per serial number?
Each 406 MHz beacon is tagged by serial number, and every record captured against it carries the named person who did the work, the exact timestamp, and the photo evidence. This means any single check traces back to the specific unit, the technician, and the moment it was done, which is exactly the chain an auditor follows. A record that cannot be tied to the beacon and the person is the kind of gap that becomes a finding, so capturing this traceability automatically at the point of work removes the most common audit weakness. Because the trail is per serial, a beacon that moves between tails keeps its full traceable history.
How are audit findings and corrective actions tracked?
Each finding, whether raised internally or by an external auditor, is logged against the relevant ELT serial number and carries a corrective action with a named owner, a deadline, and a verified closure step. Because the finding lives on the same record as the evidence, the corrective action list never drifts away from the actual data the way a separate spreadsheet does. The quality team sees open findings, their owners, and their due dates on the dashboard, so nothing lapses unnoticed. When the next audit comes, the closure of each previous finding is itself part of the evidence pack, showing the auditor that issues are managed to resolution.
How do we know which tails are audit-ready before a visit?
The audit readiness dashboard rolls up ELT record completeness and open findings across every tail number, so the quality manager sees which beacons have a complete, traceable history and which have gaps, without checking each base by hand. A tail with a missing self-test record or an open finding is visible early enough to close before the auditor arrives, rather than discovered during the visit. This makes audit readiness a continuous state rather than a scramble in the weeks before each audit. The same view also helps target internal checks at the tails most likely to surface a problem.
Can an external auditor access the records directly?
Yes. An external auditor can be given read-only access scoped strictly to the records and tails in the audit scope. This lets the auditor retrieve ELT evidence directly, follow the traceability per serial number, and review finding closures without the quality team rebuilding everything by hand for each request. The auditor sees only what is in scope, and every access is logged. This both speeds up the audit and demonstrates a mature, transparent records system, which tends to build auditor confidence. When the audit ends, the scoped access is revoked, and the access log remains as part of the audit trail.
Does the platform work offline so evidence is captured at the unit?
Yes. Capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters in the hangar, on the line, and at remote stands where signal is weak. Line teams log self-tests, inspections, and battery changes with photos at the beacon while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. Capturing evidence at the point of work, with the correct timestamp and named person, is what makes the audit trail trustworthy. Evidence reconstructed later from memory is precisely what an auditor probes, whereas point-of-work capture stands up to scrutiny and rarely produces a finding traced back to a missing or inconsistent record.
