Search and Rescue Procedures


Search and Rescue is performed on sea or land by flying your aircraft at a height between 100-200 feet towards your intended target.

In an on-line environment, either a navigational beacon or multiplayer contact is used. In an off-line environment, a navigational beacon only is used.

As a helicopter you can simulate the pickup of the rescued unit.

You must hover over the pickup point for a period of 10 seconds per 10 feet of height.

As an aircraft you are to locate and report the position of the target so that SAR helicopters can come and pickup the target.
