2.14.8 Describe the procedure involved in terminating emergency communications.
Terminating a Distress Communication
When the Pilot in Command of the distressed aircraft considers the emergency to be no longer present a message must be transmitted to the station controlling the distress traffic – cancelling the distress
The controlling station will then transmit a message including the words “DISTRESS TRAFFIC ENDED“
The transponder code 7700 should be changed to a code as advised by ATC or as required
The ELT switch should be returned to ARM
