Front 6

Emergency phases of SAR

Back 6

Uncertainty,alert, and Distress

Front 7

Uncertainty phase

Back 7

Exists when there is knowledge of a situation that may need to be monitored, or to have more information gathered, but does not require resources to be moved.

Front 8

Alert phase

Back 8

Phase exists when a craft or person is experiencing some difficulty and may need assistance, but is not in immediate danger or in need of immediate response. Apprehension associated with this phase.

Front 9

Distress phase

Back 9

Phase exists when grave or imminent danger requiring immediate response to the distress scene threatens a craft or person.

Front 10

IAMSAR planning

Back 10

Effective plan is developed including plans for search, rescue, and final delivery.

Front 11

IAMSAR operations

Back 11

The SAR operations stage encompasses all activities that involve searching for the distressed persons or craft, providing assistance, and removing them to a safe place.

Front 12

IAMSAR conclusion

Back 12

SAR operations are terminated, all authorities, facilities, or services which have been activated must be immediately notified ( Deactivate the SAR system )

Front 13

Datum

Back 13

The most probable location of the search object, corrected for movement over time

Front 14

Sweep width

Back 14

The distance on both sides of the SRU where the probability of detecting a target outside the sweep width is equal to the probability of missing a target inside that distance.

Front 15

What are the 5 components of the SAR system

Back 15

Organization, resources, communications, emergency SAR, and documentation

Front 16

Three primary geo graphic divisions of the national SAR system

Back 16

Inland: air force

Maritime: coast guard

Overseas: unified commanders

Front 17

Uncorrelated distress

Back 17

Distress broadcast that does not include position or identification info so there is not enough information to generate a search area.

Front 18

Front 19

14 USC 88

Front 23

Track spacing

Back 23

Is the distance between two adjacent parallel search legs.

Front 24

Expanding square

Back 24

Small area when some doubt exists about the distress position. Provides more uniform coverage than Sector search.

Front 25

Parallel search

Back 25

Used for large search areas, approximate position is known, uniform coverage is desired.

Back 27

Interior river systems,inland waters,coastal waters, and high seas
