Part VII
SEARCH AND RESCUE SERVICES (SAR) — FASID
INTRODUCTION
1. The material in this part complements that
contained in Part I — BORPC and Part VII — SAR of the
Basic ANP and should be taken into consideration in the
overall planning processes for the EUR region.
2. This part contains the details of the facilities and/or
services to be provided to fulfill the basic requirements of
the plan and/or as agreed between the provider and user
States concerned. Such agreement indicates a commitment
on the part of the State(s) concerned to implement the
requirement(s) specified. This element of the FASID, in
conjunction with the EUR Basic ANP, is kept under
constant review by the EANPG in accordance with its
schedule of management, in consultation with user and
provider States and with the assistance of the ICAO
EUR/NAT Regional Office.
SEARCH AND RESCUE SERVICES
(TABLE SAR 1)
3. Table SAR 1 contains a list of the search and
rescue services to be provided in the EUR region.
5. Because it is not possible to define in specific
terms where, in the vicinity of aerodromes, the
responsibility of the SAR services begins and that of the
aerodrome rescue and fire fighting services ends with
respect to potential emergencies, States should ensure that
closest possible cooperation is maintained between these
two services.
COOPERATION BETWEEN
SAR SERVICES
6. Cooperative agreements concluded between neighbouring
States, on the provision of SAR services, should
cover maximum facilitation of border crossing for
personnel and equipment engaged in SAR operations and
mutual logistic support for them with an absolute minimum
of formality.
[Annex 12, 3.1.3 to 3.1.6]
7. States which can make ELR (extra long range) or
VLR (very long range) aircraft available for SAR purposes
on request should advise other States concerned and specify
the organization(s) to which such requests should be
addressed.
PROVISION OF SAR
4. Where national services are called upon to provide
SAR assistance on an ad hoc basis, in cases where the scope
of SAR operations require such arrangement, these requirements
may be met by including in national disaster relief
plans appropriate provisions regarding the assistance likely
to be rendered by services and facilities not normally
concerned with aviation.
EFFICIENCY OF SAR SERVICES
8. Efficiency and knowledge of aircraft types to the
extent that this is required for the conduct of SAR
operations, should be maintained through regular SAR
exercises, including coordination exercises between the
SAR services of different States whenever cooperation
agreements have been concluded between the parties
concerned.
