[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.
