You are conducting your preflight of an aircraft and notice that the last inspection of the emergency locator transmitter was 11 calendar months ago. You may

A

depart if you get a special flight permit.

B

depart because the ELT is within the inspection requirements.✓ Correct Answer

C

not depart until a new inspection is conducted.

Explanation

14 CFR 91.207(d) requires the ELT to be inspected within 12 calendar months after the last inspection. An inspection 11 calendar months ago is still current, so you may depart; no special flight permit or new inspection is needed yet.
