[edit] Time Plan

Total Time: 45 minutes

2005-02: 60 min
2011-03: 42 min
2013-02: 43 min

Time	Material
00:00 3 min	Introduce topic title Introduce Instructor Present Objectives
00:03	play Helicoper Operation video - both parts starts at 16min in Title 2 of DVD - after Ground SAR Operations ends at 35min in Title 2 of DVD - before Hug-a-Tree
	Use of helicopter in SAR? rescue evacuation transport searchers, rescuers spotting, infrared area orientation
	Limitations may be dropped off on a peak, lonely spot may have to walk out often limited by weather warmer air is thinner, less lift
	Some stuff may have to go in tail storage bear spray pressurized containers flares fire starter stove
	exit/enter down hill slide still in pilot's sight still not towards rear
	distribute STARS LZ card creating landing zone may have to set up for a rescue, or at search base appoint LZ officer large open area, eg. 40m x 40m avoid overhead area consider approach and exit via wind direction clean area pack down snow with snowmobiles keep all people away
	signaling stand center of up-wind side of LZ make sure you don't have anything that will fly away take off hat keep eye on area for anything unsafe wave off helicopter if unsafe landing/takeoff hands straight up kneel as helicopter gets closer do not move away, helicopter will follow you

[edit] Notes

Any additional notes, etc.

Ideas:

landing zones
- what to expect as helicopter coming in
- trust pilot
- hand signals
slinging gear in / out
loading helicopter
- stacks of gear
- using people to keep weight down
hearing protection
theory of operations
- how they get lift
- temperature
identify types of helicopters and their abilities
different services and abilities, e.g STARS and Alpine
