Revision as of 04:07, 9 February 2020
This is a sample schedule (master) for SAR Fundamentals courses hosted by PCSAR. Each section links to a lesson plan.
It is intended to help instructors schedule their sections. It is not intended for students as a commitment of what will be taught when. Times are only approximate. Elements may be moved around.

not covered
The following material is not explicitly scheduled and where appropriate will be covered in earlier sections.
- 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 workers 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
- good idea. Try to work in in future years.
- 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.
- Basic SAR Skills Manual: F-12 "Mountain Bike SAR"
Rationale to not include: A speciality not often encountered.
