Risk vs Gain, SAR
SAR: risk of a/c and aircrew vs property and survivors if mission not undertaken; *consider additional risk of exposing people in distress to flight ops (esp those w impaired physical conditions); *probable loss of an aircrew is not acceptable

warrented effort (risk of damage or abuse to a/c) for possibility of saving human life / probability of relieving intense pain or suffering
you may incur risk of damage or abuse to a/c if a full recovery is reasonably expected
warrented effort (risk of damage or abuse to a/c) for property of US citizen or US gov’t
risk of damage if property is unques greater in value then cost of damage to a/c and a full a/c recovery is fully expected
warrented effort (risk of damage or abuse to a/c) for interdicting/apprehending alleged fed law violators
does not warrant probable damage or abuse to a/c
