  APPLICATION OF CAAM’S ONLINE REGISTRATION PORTAL
FOR AVIATION-RELATED 406MHZ EMERGENCY DISTRESS BEACON REGISTRATION

1  PURPOSE

1.1 This Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) aims to inform aviation beacon owners about the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia’s (CAAM) initiatives to enhance and streamline the beacon registration process. A user-friendly online database registration portal, CAAM’s 406MHz Beacon Registration, has been implemented for this purpose.
1.2 The portal is available free of charge and allows users, such as owners, airline operators, and CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation), to easily register their distress beacons, update information, and receive confirmation electronically.

2  REQUIREMENTS

2.1 All Malaysian registered aircraft (except aircraft with dispensation) are required to be fitted with or carry Emergency Locator Transmitter(s) in accordance with the requirements of Annex 10, Volume III, Chapter 5, 5.1 General.
2.2 Registering your 406MHz emergency distress beacons with CAAM is crucial for ensuring prompt and effective Search and Rescue (SAR) responses in the event of an emergency. Registration provides vital information to SAR authorities, enabling the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre / Aeronautical Rescue Sub Centre (ARCC/ARSC) to contact your emergency contacts and gather important information to initiate a response as soon as possible. Failure to register can cause delays in the response.
2.3 The emergency beacon must be registered with CAAM through the Search and Rescue (SAR) Unit, Air Navigation Services Operations Division.
