The following material is not explicitly scheduled and where appropriate will be covered in earlier sections.

Navigation - Lat/Long

0.75 hr

SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch13

SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch.13 "Navigation"

Basic SAR Skills Manual: Ch.7 "Navigation"

Rationale to not include: SAR workers only use lat/long when interfacing with members of the public and air searchers. Conversion to UTM can be accomplished by a suitably trained person in the planning section.

1.5 hr

2006-09-30 10:15 11:45

Basic SAR Skills Manual: Ch.7 "Navigation"

Rationale to not include: SAR workes only use LLD and its derivatives when navigating to the search site and interfacing with the public and municipal workers. Navigation by LLD is a difficult skill to maintain. Conversion to UTM can be accomplished by a suitably trained person in the planning section.

Navigation - GPS - practical - waypoints

• See lesson plan after 1:13
