Harv's Air Service reported to Winnipeg FIC that one of their aircraft, C-FVJC, a Beech Travel Air, was airborne and the ELT was activated. The company was in cell phone contact with the pilot, who indicated that the ELT was interfering with his radio. The pilot squawked 7600 and subsequently landed uneventfully at Steinbach. The ELT was then turned off at 0645z.
UPDATE Maintenance and Manufacturing reported that the ELT activated in flight as the pilot was flying in cruise. The pilot reported that the air was smooth at the time, and he had made a radio call shortly before the ELT activated. This ELT was subsequently removed and will be sent away to be tested; a different ELT was installed and ground checked serviceable, with no in-flight reports of any more inadvertent activations.
