Before and After Inspectly360
What changes once elt (emergency locator transmitter) safety software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.
Before Inspectly360
- A technician spots an ELT hazard and notes it on a card the safety team may never see.
- A failed G-switch is a maintenance note with no link to the safety risk it represents.
- Battery risk lives in a spreadsheet with no link to the mitigation or its owner.
- An inadvertent 406 MHz activation is handled by email with no trend across the fleet.
- Safety manager assembles ELT risk status by chasing each base for open items.
After Inspectly360
- A hazard report routes to the SMS with photo, location, and severity against the unit serial.
- A failed G-switch raises a risk entry so the beacon-may-not-fire hazard is tracked to closure.
- Battery failure risk carries a mitigation, an owner, and a deadline tracked in the register.
- Each activation event is logged so the safety team sees the trend and recurring causes.
- Live dashboard of open ELT hazards, risks, and mitigations across every tail number.
What Is ELT Safety Software, and How Do SMS and Quality Teams Use It Across a Fleet?
ELT safety software is the platform safety managers, quality assurance managers, and CAMO continuing airworthiness teams use to manage 406 MHz emergency locator transmitter hazards and risk inside an SMS across a fleet. Inspectly360 captures beacon hazard reports, G-switch failure risk, battery failure mitigation, inadvertent activation events, and antenna or coax defects in one record per unit serial number, each tracked to closure with an owner and a deadline.
Today an ELT hazard spotted by an avionics technician becomes a note on a card, the safety risk of a failed G-switch is buried in a maintenance entry, and inadvertent 406 MHz activations are handled by email with no fleet trend. When a recurring battery failure mode or a mounting hazard goes untracked, the safety team cannot act on it because it never reaches the risk register. Across a fleet of mixed types, ELT risk is fragmented across bases.
Inspectly360 replaces that with SMS-linked capture on iOS and Android: any technician raises a beacon hazard with photo and severity, a failed G-switch or battery defect raises a risk entry with a mitigation and owner, and inadvertent activations are logged so trends surface. Findings route to tracked actions with deadlines, and a branded safety pack exports per tail number when the regulator or safety board asks.

How Does ELT Safety Management Run from Hazard Report to Risk Closure?
Safety and quality teams follow this loop for beacon hazard reports, G-switch and battery risk, and risk closure inside the SMS.
- 1
Tag Every ELT by Serial Number
Assign QR identity to each 406 MHz emergency locator transmitter so every hazard, risk, and activation event ties to the unit.
- 2
Raise a Beacon Hazard Report
Any technician raises an ELT hazard on mobile with photo, location, and severity, routed straight to the SMS.
- 3
Assess and Assign Risk
A failed G-switch, battery defect, or activation event becomes a risk entry with a mitigation, an owner, and a deadline.
- 4
Track Mitigation to Closure
Each risk is worked to closure with evidence, so a beacon-may-not-fire hazard does not sit open unnoticed.
- 5
Trend and Export Safety Evidence
Recurring causes surface across the fleet, and a branded safety pack exports per tail number for the safety board.

Which Capabilities Help Teams Manage Beacon Hazards and G-Switch Risk Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power elt (emergency locator transmitter) safety software across every site.
Beacon Hazard Reporting
Any technician raises an ELT hazard with photo, location, and severity straight into the SMS. Why it matters: a hazard noted on a card the safety team never sees is a risk that never gets managed.
G-switch Failure Risk Tracking
A failed G-switch raises a risk entry tied to the unit and worked to closure. Why it matters: a beacon that may not fire on impact is a safety risk, not just a maintenance note.
Battery Failure Mitigation
Battery defects carry a mitigation, an owner, and a deadline in the risk register. Why it matters: a recurring battery failure mode left untracked repeats across the fleet.
Inadvertent Activation Logging
Each unintended 406 MHz activation is logged so trends and recurring causes surface. Why it matters: a pattern of false activations points to a mounting or G-switch issue worth fixing.
Risk Closure and Evidence
Every risk is worked to closure with evidence and named sign-off. Why it matters: an open risk with no closure is exactly what a safety board questions.
Fleet Safety Dashboard
Open ELT hazards, risks, and mitigations roll up across tail numbers. Why it matters: the safety manager sees fleet risk without chasing each base.

Frequently Asked Questions About ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) Safety Software
How does ELT safety software capture beacon hazards into the SMS?
Any technician who spots an ELT hazard, such as a damaged antenna, a loose mount, or a suspect battery, raises a report on iOS or Android with a photo, the location, and a severity against the unit serial number. The report routes straight into the SMS rather than sitting as a note on a card the safety team may never read. From there it is triaged into the risk register with an owner and a deadline. This closes the common gap where a real hazard is spotted at the unit but never reaches the people responsible for managing fleet risk, so nothing is done until it recurs or causes an event.
How is a failed G-switch handled as a safety risk?
A failed G-switch means the ELT may not activate automatically on impact, which is a safety risk, not just a maintenance defect. When a self-test or function check records a G-switch failure, the platform raises a risk entry tied to the unit serial number alongside the maintenance defect, so both the fix and the risk are tracked. The risk carries a mitigation, an owner, and a deadline, and is worked to closure with evidence. This links the technical finding to the SMS, so the safety team sees the beacon-may-not-fire hazard explicitly rather than assuming the maintenance system alone will surface it.
Can it track inadvertent 406 MHz activations across the fleet?
Yes. Each inadvertent or unintended 406 MHz activation is logged as an event against the unit serial number with the circumstances, so the safety team sees the trend across the fleet rather than handling each one by email in isolation. A pattern of false activations often points to a mounting issue, a sensitive G-switch, or a handling problem during maintenance, all of which are worth fixing at the source. Trending the events surfaces those recurring causes so the safety team can act on the pattern, rather than simply resetting each beacon and moving on without ever addressing why the activations keep happening.
How does battery failure mitigation work in the risk register?
Battery defects and failures are captured against the unit serial number and carried into the risk register with a mitigation, an owner, and a deadline. Because each entry ties to a specific beacon, a recurring battery failure mode, such as a particular batch reaching end of life early, becomes visible across the fleet instead of being treated as isolated one-off events. The safety team can then drive a fleet-wide mitigation rather than fixing the same problem repeatedly at the unit. Every mitigation is worked to closure with evidence and named sign-off, so the register shows not just the risk but how it was resolved.
Does the platform work offline so hazards are captured at the unit?
Yes. Hazard capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters in the hangar, on the line, and at remote stands where signal is weak. A technician raises an ELT hazard with photos at the unit while offline, and it syncs into the SMS automatically once the device reconnects. Capturing the hazard at the point and moment it is spotted, with the correct timestamp, keeps the safety trail accurate and prevents the report being forgotten before the technician reaches a desk. This makes it far more likely that a real hazard reaches the risk register rather than being lost between the hangar floor and the office.
What safety evidence can we produce for a regulator or safety board?
Every hazard report, risk entry, mitigation, activation event, and closure is stored with a timestamp, the named person, and photo evidence against the specific serial number and tail. When a regulator or internal safety board asks for ELT safety evidence, you export a scoped, branded safety pack per aircraft covering the period in minutes. The pack shows open and closed hazards, G-switch and battery risks, inadvertent activation trends, and the closure of each risk with verified sign-off. This gives the safety board a clear picture of how ELT risk is managed across the fleet, rather than a set of disconnected emails and cards assembled after the request.
