ACK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 406 MHz ELT Model E-04

E-04 Certification update January 28th 2010

We have FAA TSO, Transport Canada TSO and ETSO approval. The US Army Lab has submitted the 3rd revised report showing we have passed all tests. COSPAS/SARSAT has found a problem with the way some of the tests were preformed, and have asked that a retest be done. The lab is done with the testing, and we are awaiting the report. As soon as the report is received by COSPAS they have indicated that they are ready to notify the member Countries that the certificate is being issued, and must wait for the member Countries to comment before issuing the certificate. (A process we understand to take about 30 days.) We have begun limited production, and when we receive the certificate we will begin shipping to our distributors. We DO NOT sell direct, only to our authorized distributors. We have a large number of backorders and will be ramping up production over the next 2-3 months to fill these backorders and fully meet the demand for the ELT.

February 2nd 2010

We have just received word from the Army Lab that they will be submitting Revision 4 of the test report to COSPAS/SARSAT this week and again they say everything looks good. COSPAS will need a little time to review it. We are hoping to be able to ship within 30 days.

February 19th 2010

The U.S. Army Electronic Proving Grounds has submitted Revision 4 of the test report, once again showing we have passed all tests. COSPAS/SARSAT will be reviewing the report next week.

March 3rd 2010

We have recieved Industry Canada approval, we are now fully certified for Canada. (copy of certificate below.)

With the most recent report submitted by the U.S. Electronic Proving Grounds, we are down to one minor discrepancy in regards to current measurments. We have asked that COSPAS accept our data compiled for the FAA in lieu of relying on the U.S. Electronic Proving grounds again for testing. We are awaiting their response.
