Q

Search and Rescue (SAR) is the responsibility of the Canadian Forces. There are 3 Joint Rescue Coordination Centres (JRCC), one each in Victoria, B.C,Trenton, Ont, and Halifax, N.S. From these facilities, aircraft in difficulty, lost, or crashed are tracked. Search and Rescue aircraft and teams, including parachute rescue and ground search personnel, can be dispatched from these three units.

17
Q

Dissemination

A 
The ACC is the central point for acquiring and disseminating information with regards to aircraft in distress. Initial information regarding an accident or an aircraft in distress can come from a variety of sources: 

•the aircraft itself 
•an ACC in another FIR 
•the aircraft operator 
•outside (other) source 
•towers 
•FSS
18
Q

Once the ACC has the information, it is up to them to forward all pertinent information to the JRCC and the aircraft operator.

A

Once the ACC has the information, it is up to them to forward all pertinent information to the JRCC and the aircraft operator.

19
Q

Airport Tower

A

An airport or terminal controller shall immediately report to the appropriate ACC, and any other agency concerned, all information regarding:
A. an aircraft accident;
B. an aircraft in distress; or
C. a lost or overdue aircraft.

20
Q

ACC

A

The ACC shall function as a central point within the FIR for:

  • collecting information about an aircraft experiencing an emergency; and
  • forwarding pertinent information to the appropriate JRCC.
  • An ACC shall forward reports regarding aircraft overdue within another FIR to the ACC concerned.
21
Q

Aircraft Operator

A

If practicable, inform the operator before notifying the JRCC of an aircraft that has entered:
A.the uncertainty phase; or
B.the alert phase;

The JRCC is notified first in the case of an aircraft that has entered the distress phase.

If practicable, give the operator all the information that is given to the JRCC.

Q

Include the following information, if available, in a notification to
the JRCC:

A

A. A statement of the emergency phase that exists.
B. Name of unit and person calling.
C. Nature of the emergency.
D. Significant information from the flight plan, or flight itinerary, such
as the following:
1. Type of flight plan or flight itinerary.
2. Aircraft identification.
3. Type of aircraft.
4. Point of departure.
5. Destination aerodrome.
6. Actual time of departure.
7. True air speed.
8. Estimated time of arrival.
9. Alternate airport.
10.Transmitting and receiving frequencies.
11.Number of persons on board.
12.Pilot’s name.
13.Time fuel expected to be expended.
E. Color and distinctive markings of aircraft.

23
Q

What is a MANOT

A

missing aircraft notice

  • A message issued by an JRCC to Flight Service Stations and ATC units, giving details of a missing aircraft.
  • ACCs should post MANOTs in the flight planning section
24
Q

An initial MANOT, identified by a reference number and the name of the JRCC originating the message, will contain information on the missing aircraft, such as:

•Identification;
•Type;
•Color;
•Markings;
•Date;
•Intended route;
•Emergency radio equipment; and
•Particulars of the search area.

Q

A final MANOT, issued when the search is terminated, will be identified by the same reference number and originator as the initial MANOT.

A

A final MANOT, issued when the search is terminated, will be identified by the same reference number and originator as the initial MANOT.

26
Q

Personnel accepting flight plans should provide MANOT information to aircraft planning to over-fly any part of the search area.

Towers should provide MANOT information to an aircraft if its route overlies any part of the search area.

Forward any response related to a MANOT to the appropriate JRCC without delay

27
Q
  • in either case the ELT begins to broadcast a distress signal on the international emergency frequency 121.5 MHz and/or 243.0 MHz and/or 406 MHz .
A
  • in either case the ELT begins to broadcast a distress signal on the international emergency frequency 121.5 MHz and/or 243.0 MHz and/or 406 MHz .
28
Q
  • ELT signals are effective only in line of sight due to the VHF or UHF frequency used by the ELT.
  • Additionally, since 2009, all ELTs operating on 406, 121.5 and/or 243.0 MHz can be detected by COSPAS-SARSAT satellites.

29
Q

what are the rules of ELT signal

A
  1. ELT tests must be carried out within the first 5 minutes of any UTC hour.

    1. ELT test must have a duration of not more than five seconds.
30
Q

the steps to take after an ELT signal goes off

A
  1. Coordinate with adjacent ATS units
  2. Request aircraft in the area to listen to the distress frequency and to report on the signal. obtain the following information from aircraft
    1. Position, altitude, and time when signal was first received
    2. ELT signal strength when first received
    3. Position, altitude, and time when the signal was last received
    4. ELT signal strength when last received
  3. Towers and FSS will forward to the ACC all reported information and updates. All ELT activation outside the testing period must reported to the ACC shift manager regardless of the duration
  4. The ACC shift manager shall notify the RCC and, if the ELT is pilot-reported or lasts more then five seconds, file an aviation Occurrence report
