Q

What is correction for fatigue?

A

Degradation of detection performance during a seach can be significant due to fatigue. The sweep widths given in the uncorrected visual sweep width tables that follow are adjusted for a normal amount of crew fatigue. If feedback from an on-scene SRU indicates search crews were excessively fatigued, reduce sweep width values by 10% (multiply by 0/9)
