not covered
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
- FOG SAR 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.
Navigation - Legal Land Description, Road Numbering System,
Municipal Approach Numbering System
- 1.5 hr
- 2006-09-30 10:15 11:45
- FOG SAR 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.
Rope rescue
- 1.25 hr
- SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch. 25
- FOG SAR Manual:
- Ch.21 "Rope Rescue Equipment"
- Ch.22 "Rope Knots and Skills"
- related skills-exercise on knots
Rationale to not include: To assist in a rope rescue takes considerably more training than can be included in this course.
Mountain Bike SAR

Rationale to not include: A speciality not often encountered.
