Specifically authorized by the Commanding Officer, Operations Officer or their acting representative.

75 NM
Request helicopter or fixed wing escorts. The launch, however, shall not be delayed for an escort.

Warranted risk for SAR: Saving human life
If a mission is likely to save a human life, it warrants the maximum effort. When no suitable alternative exists and the mission has a reasonable chance of success, the risk of damage to or abuse of the aircraft is acceptable even though such damage may render the aircraft unrecoverable. Probable loss of the aircrew is not acceptable risk.”
Warranted risk for SAR: Preventing or relieving intense pain or suffering
If a mission is likely to prevent or relieve intense pain or suffering, or it may result in the possibility of saving human life, it warrants the risk of damage to or abuse of the aircraft if recovery of the aircraft can be reasonably expected.
Warranted risk for SAR: Saving Property
If a mission is likely to save property of the United States or its citizens, it warrants the risk of damage to the aircraft if the value of the property to be saved is unquestionably greater than the cost of aircraft damage and the aircraft is fully expected to be recoverable.
Warranted risk for Law Enforcement
The possibility of recovering evidence and interdicting or apprehending alleged violators of federal law does not warrant probable damage to or abuse of the aircraft. This guidance applies to flight activities performed during missions such as: Drug and Migrant Interdictions, routine PWCS, routine Defense Readiness, Marine Environmental Protection, Living Marine Resources, and other Law Enforcement missions.
Warranted risk for Logistics and Other Missions
Logistics or other missions having little or no urgency shall not be prosecuted if they expose the aircraft to hazards greater than those encountered during the course of routine training missions. This guidance applies to flight activities performed during missions such as: Marine Safety, Ice Operations, ATON, and Waterways Management missions.
The term LAND OR DITCH IMMEDIATELY is defined as:
Executing a landing or ditching without delay due to the seriousness of the malfunction. The primary consideration is to assure the survival of the occupants of the aircraft.
Warning: The potential loss of the airframe after aircrew egress is not sufficient cause to continue flight.
The term LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is defined as:
Executing a landing at the first site at which a safe landing can be made. The primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency.
The term LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE means:
Extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of flight is at the discretion of the Pilot-in-Command.
The term ABORT MISSION means:
That the aircraft shall not proceed on its assigned mission and should return to its desired recovery base.
The ABORT MISSION defining tin states an aircraft shall not proceed. However, given the urgency and foreseeable results, if the gain clearly outweighs the risk for a short duration, the crew may continue that portion of the mission.
The term CONTINUE FLIGHT AS APPROPRIATE means:
Acknowledges that the aircraft is performing in a degraded mode. The PIC should consider mission urgency and the impact of the malfunction on safe aircraft operation when determining whether to proceed on an assigned mission.
