## Discrepancy

A REOCCURANCE TO THE SAME REPORT ON SDR 20110204008. THE ELT AGAIN INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED IN FLIGHT. THE REASON FOR THE ACTIVATION WAS POOR WIRING AT THE REMOTE SWITCH IN THE COCKPIT.  THE POOR WIRING WAS A RESULT OF POOR STANDARDS USED DURING INSTALLATION. SWITCH WIRING REPAIRED AND ELT REMOTE SWITCH FUNCTION TESTED WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS.
