[edit] 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
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.


Navigation - Legal Land Description, Road Numbering System, Municipal Approach Numbering System

1.5 hr
2006-09-30 10:15 11:45
SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch.13 "Navigation"
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.


Rope rescue

1.25 hr
SAR Fundamentals Manual:
  • Ch.24 "Rope Rescue Equipment"
  • Ch.25 "Rope Related Skills"
Basic SAR Skills 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

Basic SAR Skills Manual: F-12 "Mountain Bike SAR"

Rationale to not include: A speciality not often encountered.
