allows the observer to work the radio to execute the coordination. The observerwill likely also have to be the one who keeps track of where you “left” your target.After these tasks are delegated, the observer simply talks the ground team tothe target. What could be easier? Well, of course there are additional factors toconsider.First of all, how do we get the aircrew and the ground team together in thefirst place? You will often find that a poorly conducted rendezvous with theground team will result in a frustrating "search for the searchers." It is important tobrief the mission with the ground team, if possible, and at least agree oncommunications frequencies and lost-com procedures, maps/charts to be used byboth teams, determine what vehicle the ground team is driving (e.g., type, color,and any markings), determine what the ground team members are wearing (highlyvisible vests are preferred), and a rendezvous point and time window forrendezvous (+/- 15 minutes).One tried-and-true method is to rendezvous at a landmark that both theaircrew and the ground team can easily identify. A common rendezvous point isan intersection of prominent roads; these are easily identifiable by both theaircrew and ground team. The rendezvous location should be set up before youleave mission base.Also, ground teams that have a hand-held GPS can radio their latitude andlongitude coordinates to you and say, “Come and get me!” If you are unable toloiter over the target and bring the ground team to it, you can simply radio thecoordinates to the ground team and let them navigate to it on their own. This isnot nearly as efficient, however, as when you lead them to it. Note that twopieces of technology have to be working properly to make this work: 1) both airand ground operators need to be proficient with their GPS units and 2) two-wayradio communication must be established and maintained.After visual contact with the ground team, the pilot may use flaps to reducegroundspeed. If you lose radio communication, you can use the signals as listedbelow. However, these signals may be used as a standard to be followed inaddition to two-way radio communication for additional clarity and practice. Allowplenty of room for your maneuvers or you may confuse the ground team and donot rush your signals.Note: It is important to plan for a loss of communications during the briefing.The teams should agree on pre-arranged signals such as: stopping the vehiclemeans lost com; blinking headlights indicate the message has been received; andoperating the flashers means the message hasn't been received.32
Keeping contact with the ground team.SAR• Aircraft action: Aircraft approaches the vehicle from the rear and turns in anormal manner right (or left) to re-approach the vehicle from the rear.Circle back as necessary using oval patterns and flying over the teamfrom behind, indicating that they should continue. This process may bereferred to as a “Daisy Chain.” Daisy Chain over the ground team as longas necessary.• Desired team action: Continue driving in indicated direction along thisroad.Turning the ground team around.SAR• Aircraft action: Aircraft approaches the vehicle from the rear and thenturns sharply right (or left) in front of the vehicle while in motion. Circleback as necessary, flying against the team’s direction of travel, and thentake up the ‘keeping up’ procedure outlined above.• Desired team action: Turn vehicle around.33
