For the case without sending coordinates -the short message:
ELT:
protocol of aviation user with the encoded registration mark of the aircraft;
Serial User Protocol with the encoded 24-bit address of the aircraft.
ELT (AP) and ELT (S) serial user protocol (serial user) with a coded ELT serial number and Cospas-Sarsat type certificate number.
EPIRB - protocol (maritime user) with a MMSI code number.
PLB - serial protocol (serial user) of the PLB coded serial number and certificate number, type of Cospas-Sarsat system.
For the case of transmission protocols coordinate - the long message:
ELT:
- user location protocol with the encoded register mark of the aircraft;
- user location protocol with the encoded 24-bit address of the aircraft;
- default location protocol with the encoded 24-bit address of the aircraft.
ELT (AP) and ELT (S) user location protocol and standard location protocol with the encoded serial number and ELT Cospas-Sarsat certificate number type.
EPIRB:
- User location protocol with a code number and MMSI;
- default location protocol with the encoded MMSI number.
PLB:
- user location protocol with the encoded serial number and PLB Cospas-Sarsat type certificate number
- default location protocol with a code number and serial number of PLB and the type certificate Cospas-Sarsat system.
