Unsafe Condition

A loose ELT antenna coaxial cable connector may contact the terminals of the battery relay, shorting the electrical power to ground and causing an in-flight fire.

If ELT is removed, ensure antenna cable is secured away from the battery relay. Disconnect and remove the ELT antenna cable for ferry flights.
