Making Grid ChartsMaking Grid Charts
You can use a new sectional — normally not updated unless it gets worn out
Use a hi-lighter (not pink) to mark grid boundaries on the chart using a long ruler
Mark grid identification in black ink for easy visibility
You should always keep a current sectional with you even if you have a sectional which is marked with grids

Search PlanningSearch Planning& Coverage& Coverage
Search Involves• Estimating the position of the wreck or
survivors• Determining the area to be searched• Selecting the search techniques to be used
Possibility Area• Circle around the Last Known Position (LKP)• The radius is equal to the endurance of the
aircraft• Correct for wind
Probability Area• Where is the aircraft likely to be

Determining the Determining the Probability AreaProbability Area
Where was the last point where RADAR had the aircraft identified?
Is there an ELT? Was there a flight plan (even if not on
file with the FAA)? Dead reckoning from LKP and heading Reports of sightings
• Other aircraft• People living along the intended route of flight

Normally set off by the impact of an airplane crash; can be set off by a hard landing--check 121.5 before engine shutdown
TSO 91 ELTs are most common• 121.5 MHz• 98% of all ELT activations are false alarms
TSO 91A ELTs also available• 406 MHz• Signal includes registration information• Has lower false alarm rate - only 90%

be learned and practiced.

Direction Finding Equipment for 121.5 MHz
Use standard homing procedures• Determine direction from the needle indications• Turn toward the direction indicated by the
needle• Proceed until you get a strong “crossover”
indication• Descend if needed to locate the signal
Homing at low altitudes may cause problems due to interference from the ground or man-made obstacles

This pattern is used when an electronic search has led thecrew to a general area to find
the exact location visually

Visual Search PatternsVisual Search PatternsContour SearchContour Search
This is a most difficult anddangerous pattern to fly
Requires special training
Don’t try it when windsor turbulence are bad
Watch density altitude
Ensure the aircraft has therequired performance for
the mission
Always flown from high terrain to lower terrain. CAUTION - Density altitude and aircraft
performance limitations can cause you to get into an unrecoverable situation.
54
Vision PhysiologyVision Physiology
The maximum visual acuity is a circle 10° in diameter around a fixation point
During the day, peripheral vision is good to pick up things, then focus on them with your central vision.
Dark adaptation requires 30 minutes
At night • Use off-center vision• Fewer scans• Rest between scans
Lighting conditions & shadows may significantly affect vision
10 degrees
55
Visual CluesVisual Clues
Light colored or shiny objects Smoke, fire, blackened areas Disturbed or discolored foliage Fresh bare earth Breaks in cultivated field patterns Disturbances in water and snow Birds and animals Signals and messages
56
Wreckage PatternsWreckage Patterns
Hole in the ground - steep dive into the ground
Cork screw or auger - uncontrolled spin Creaming or smear - level flight into the
ground The four winds - in-flight breakup, pieces
scattered everywhere. Hedge-trimming - aircraft strikes high ridge
or obstruction and continues on - some wreckage at first impact, most of it further away.
Splash – water impact – oil slick & debris

Fighting FatigueFighting Fatigue
Change positions every 30 minutes if the size of the aircraft permits
Rest your eyes occasionally - let the crew know Switch sides of the aircraft Find a comfortable scanning position Ensure aircraft windows are clean (pre-flight) Scan through open hatches when possible Keep inside lighting low to reduce reflections Only use binoculars to check sightings - Using
binoculars to scan will limit your view and probably make you ill.
Focus on close objects periodically
63
Time conversionTime conversion Travel across time zones makes local
time difficult to use Coordinated Universal Time,
Greenwich Mean Time, or Zulu time usually used
Conversion factor can be found in flight planning material
Flight PlanningFlight Planning Proper flight planning is essential
to safe flight and it will make for much more effective sorties.
64
VFR / IFR Flight VFR / IFR Flight PlansPlans
Visual Flight Rules (VFR)• VFR flight plans are not required by the FAA, but are
highly recommended - helps make sure someone will come looking for you if you don’t reach your destination
• Minimum weather conditions and clearance from clouds must be observed
• Pilot assumes complete responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft
• During search missions, your CAPF 104 is you flight plan - the MC and mission staff will know if you don’t return.
• FAA flight plan required if Search Area is over 50 miles from Mission Base
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)• IFR flight plan and clearance are required• Minimum weather conditions are much lower than VFR• Controller assumes responsibility for aircraft separation• Visual search is not done in IFR conditions
65
Preflight BriefingPreflight Briefing Understanding all of the conditions of the flight will
better prepare you to do your job. Prior to each flight the pilot-in-command will brief
the crew and passengers with essential information regarding the flight, and specific information concerning the aircraft. Pay attention.• Mission Objectives• Weather• Search Altitudes & Routes• Crew Duties• Emergency Procedures• Survival Equipment
Know what your looking for, where you’ll be going, what to expect, what you’ll be doing.
When you have an emergency it’s too late to discuss what you’re going to do.
If you don’t understand something ask.
66
Aircrew CoordinationAircrew Coordination
Scanner / Observer qualifications are contained in CAPR 60-3
Scanner / Observer responsibilities are contained in AFIADL 2130A & B Course Books• Maintain flight log• Report observations• Use effective scanning techniques
The Aircrew is a TEAM - Each has a job to perform - the team members must work together to be effective.
Remember your job is to look for targets. You must record what you see. You need to be aware of where you are and the
status of the sortie at all times.
67
Observers LogObservers Log
Provides a record ofthe flight• Preflight calculations• Record of observations
Basis for debriefing Used to complete CAPF 104 (Debriefing) Information is forwarded to Mission
Coordinator to guide mission management
Good logs can be combined from several sorties to give the Mission Coordinator a better picture of how the search is going

Team concept and Team concept and communicationcommunication
Pay close attention to all briefings Understand the “big picture” Watch for task overload in yourself and
other crewmembers – “Crew Resource Management”
67% of aircraft accidents occur during 17% of the flight time - taxi, takeoff, climb, approach and landing. Keep casual conversation and distractions to a minimum during these phases of flight – “Sterile Cockpit”
Begin critical communication with instructions, then explain
Don’t be afraid to ask questions
69
DebriefingDebriefing
Note both Positive and Negative results - You may not have seen anything, but the conditions (sun angle, terrain, etc.) may have been such that it will be necessary to send another sortie to that same area.
Use the back side of CAPF 104 - Report any possible targets spotted that were identified as other things (refrigerators, scrap metal, etc.) This will help others who search the same area if they know you’ve already identified the object.
Debriefing used to determine effectivity of the search• Weather — shadows, visibility, snow cover• Terrain — open flat, mountainous, rough• Ground Cover — barren, forest, scrub, sparse, dense• Other information — hazards, changes from plan
Results used to calculate the “probability of detection” which is used for subsequent search planning
70
Crew EfficiencyCrew Efficiency Communications - The efficient crew
works together and communicates well. Clock Position - When a target is sighted,
keep your eyes on it and tell the pilot the position. Something like, “I have a target, 3 o’clock.” • High, Low, Level
Maneuvers - Then give the pilot maneuver instructions to guide them to it without losing sight of it yourself.• Straight ahead• Stop turn
Small Corrections• 5 degrees right• 10 degrees left bank
External References - Use reference points like “straight out the road to the east”.
Don’t expect the pilot to be able to see the target immediately. You must guide them to it.
