Integrated Aviation SAR Operations: Authorities, Coordination, Simulation, and Decision-Making is a practical, scenario-driven course designed for professionals who respond when an aircraft is overdue, missing, or in distress. Aligned with ICAO Annex 12, the IAMSAR Manual, and the U.S. National Search and Rescue Plan and Supplement, this program maps the end-to-end lifecycle of an aviation SAR case—from initial alert through coordination, search planning, and transition to recovery or investigation. You will learn how Rescue Coordination Centers interface with local Incident Command, how to leverage ATC data, Cospas-Sarsat beacons, and phone forensics, and how to apply evidence-based search theory to rapidly evolving situations. The course emphasizes interoperable communications, safety and risk management, and airspace deconfliction across federal, state, local, military, volunteer, and international partners. Through concise lectures, knowledge checks, and a focused SAREX simulation, you will practice the roles of SMC, OSC, and AMC, build common operating pictures, and make defensible, time-critical decisions. By the end, you will be ready to coordinate multi-agency operations confidently, document actions effectively, and deliver outcomes that align with recognized aviation SAR standards and best practices.

            <p>Integrated Aviation SAR Operations: Authorities, Coordination, Simulation, and Decision-Making equips learners to understand who responds when an aircraft goes missing and how the aviation search and rescue system functions end-to-end. Framed to align with ICAO Annex 12, the IAMSAR Manual, and the U.S. National SAR Plan and Supplement, the course maps the legal foundations, alerting pathways, operational roles, and decision frameworks that underpin effective SAR. You will examine the authorities of Rescue Coordination Centers (ARCCs/RCCs), AFRCC and USCG RCCs, FAA contributions, state and local roles, Civil Air Patrol’s auxiliary functions, and the jurisdictional handoffs from SAR to investigation. Emphasis is placed on professional communication, safety, inclusivity, and adherence to recognized standards—skills and values that directly reflect the expectations of ICAO 057 participants seeking practical competence and cross-agency fluency.</p>

<p>From the first alert to case resolution, you will follow the operational thread: how overdue notifications, ELT/PLB signals via Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR, ATC/radar/ADS-B data, and family or witness reports are validated; how last known position and uncertainty are refined; and how criteria guide initiation, suspension, or transfer of cases across borders. You will integrate RCC workflows with Incident Command System structures—SMC, Unified Command, OSC, and AMC—while building a common operating picture that spans resources, tracks, clues, weather, terrain, and hazards. The course advances evidence-based search planning using POD/POA/POS, terrain and survivability considerations, and mission-ready search patterns, then couples these with safety management: ORM/GAR, crew rest, airspace deconfliction (TFRs/NOTAMs), and interoperable communications plans. Learning is reinforced through staged knowledge checks and a short SAREX simulation where you will develop alerting, search areas, and comms plans, task multi-agency resources, adapt to injects, and conduct an after-action review—ensuring conceptual understanding becomes operational judgment for time-critical aviation SAR.</p>
