|
|
A Parallel (P) search pattern should be used when:
|
The search area is large.
There is equal probability of target being anywhere in the search area. Datum information is fair. uniform coverage is desired throughout the search area. |
|
|
|
A Creeping Line (C) search pattern should be used when:
|
The search area is large.
Uniform coverage is desired. Datum is fair. and there is more chance the target being in one end of the search area than the other. |
|
|
|
An Expanding Square (S) search pattern is used when:
|
Datum is established within close limits and uniform coverage is desired.
|
|
|
|
A Sector (V) search pattern is used when:
|
Datum is established with s high degree of confidence and the target is difficult to detect.
|
|
|
|
A Trackline (T) search is used when:
|
The only information available is the search targets known or projected trackline.
|
|
|
|
State the three correction factors you use to determine corrected sweep width.
|
Weather
fatigue aircraft speed |
|
|

Define "false alarm".
|
A false alarm is a case where the subject reported to be in distress is confirmed not to be in distress and not to be in need of assistance.
