Info

When the aircraft enters its search area, the observer notes the time and theHobbs reading and reports, "Entering the Search Area" to mission base. At thistime the observer's primary duty shifts to that of a scanner.The observer also provides periodic "Operations Normal" reports to missionbase and/or high bird. The observer should also inquire about fuel status at leastonce an hour, which will prompt the pilot to think about fuel burn assumptionsversus actual conditions. Update the altimeter hourly from the closest source.During the actual search or assessment, the aircrew must be completelyhonest with each other concerning their own condition and other factors affectingsearch effectiveness. If you missed something, or think you saw something, sayso. If you have a question, ask.As PIC, the mission pilot must take current flight conditions into consideration(e.g., gross weight, turbulence, and terrain) and perhaps add a margin of safety tothe assigned search altitude and airspeed. Log these deviations from theassigned search parameters; when you get back from your sortie you can debriefwhat you did and why.Prior to any descent below the designated search altitude, the PIC mustevaluate terrain, winds, turbulence, and obstructions to determine the best flightpath to conduct a controlled descent and low altitude reconnaissance. The lowaltitude reconnaissance must be conducted along a short, planned flight pathbased on the PIC’s evaluation and should provide the observer or scanner thebest view of the area of interest (this low altitude reconnaissance must not includesustained maneuvering below the designated search altitude). Once the area ofinterest has been evaluated, the objective verified, or upon reaching the end ofthe planned low altitude reconnaissance path, return to the minimum searchaltitude specified by the IC and do not descend again except to evaluate newpotential sightings or areas of interest.If you spot the target, the most important thing to do is notify mission baseimmediately; the recovery must be started as soon as possible. Also remember tolog all "negative result" sightings (e.g., a trash pile or abandoned car).The observer should monitor the crew for fatigue or the effects of high altitudeand schedule breaks as necessary. She should also ensure that allcrewmembers drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.10.9 Return from the SortieWhen the aircraft completes its mission and leaves the search area, theobserver notes the time and the Hobbs reading and reports "Leaving the searcharea" to mission base. Double-check your heading and altitude with what wasassigned for transit to the next search area or return to base. Reorganize thecockpit in preparation for approach and landing. Perform the applicable steps forapproach, landing and arrival (covered in section 10.2).After a short break the crew will assemble to complete the CAPF 104 andprepare for debriefing.198
