What was found
(CAN) DURING A MAINTENANCE INSPECTION THE RETENTION STRAP FOR THE ELT HAD DETERIORATED TO THE POINT OF UN-SERVICEABILITY. SUSPECT THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY UV LIGHT. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE MFG ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AND OR A REPLACEMENT STRAP AVAILABLE THAT IS A BETTERMENT. IF YOU PURCHASE A NEW ELT KIT IT SHALL COME WITH A METAL STRAP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IF AND WHEN THE STRAP LETS GO, THE POTENTIAL FOR THE ANTENNA BECOMING DAMAGED OR DISCONNECTED IS HUGE.
