Individual Responsibility: “I’M SAFE” Illness Medication Stress Alcohol Fatigue Emotion

Scanner Duties & Responsibilities PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY: Visual Search Be prepared to fly the mission — clothing, equipment, credentials, etc. Assist in avoiding obstacles during taxiing Obey ‘sterile cockpit’ rules – limit conversation to mission- and safe-related topics during critical phases of flight, or anytime the crew is executing high-load tasks Critical phases of flight include takeoff and landing Any time the aircraft is low altitude is a critical phase of flight Employ effective scanning techniques. Report observations accurately and honestly. Keep accurate sketches and notes. Complete all required paperwork. Conduct the mission as planned & report availability. Return borrowed or assigned equipment. 1.1 (Mission Aircrew Reference Text section) Objective 1.1 – Demonstrate knowledge of mission scanner duties and responsibilities

Inflight Observations Scanner & Observer Log Observer Log Aircraft Pilot Observer Mission Date Destination Total Dist ETE Remain Takeoff Time ETA ATA Fuel Inflight Observations Time Observation Departure Pt. Check Points Mag Hdg Dist Ground Speed Ident Freq Provides a record of the flight Preflight calculations Record of observations Basis for debriefing Used to complete CAPF 104 Information is forwarded to mission staff to guide mission management Good logs can be combined from several sorties to give the mission staff a better picture of how the search is going There are many forms of log sheets. Ask others what they use. A log can record check points, headings, distance, speed, ETE, ETA, ATA, fuel, time, observations, conditions. Can be purchased from the CAP Supply Depot (Scanner/Observer Log)

Observer Duties & Responsibilities Primary Responsibility during searches: Visual Search Report for briefings Assist in planning – may be mission commander Check necessary equipment aboard (checklists) Assist in avoiding obstacles during taxiing Assist in setting up and operating radios Assist in setting up and operating nav equipment Maintain situational awareness Assist in monitoring fuel status 1.2 Objective 1.2 – Demonstrate knowledge of mission observer duties and responsibilities This slide shows the added responsibilities of the observer, for comparison. May be skipped if Scanner is being taught as a stand-alone course.

Observer Duties & Responsibilities (continued) Assist enforcing the sterile cockpit rules Assist pilot during searches, particularly ELT Keep mission base/high bird apprised of status Coordinate scanner assignments, schedule breaks, monitor crew for fatigue & dehydration Maintain observer’s log Report for debriefing Assist with all post-mission paperwork Keep track of assigned equipment and supplies 1.1 Objective 1.2 – Demonstrate knowledge of mission observer duties and responsibilities

MP Duties & Responsibilities Primary Responsibility: Pilot the aircraft in a safe and proficient manner, following all CAP and FAA rules and regulations. Second: Remember that you are a pilot, not a scanner. In addition to these duties, the pilot must perform all the duties of the observer if no qualified observer is on board.

MP Duties & Responsibilities In addition to the duties of Pilot-in-Command: Responsible for obtaining complete briefings and for planning sorties Thoroughly brief the aircrew before flight, including a briefing on their responsibilities during all phases of the upcoming flight Obtain a proper flight release Enforce sterile cockpit rules Utilize CRM techniques and procedures

MP Duties & Responsibilities Fly search patterns as completely and precisely as possible; report any deviations from the prescribed patterns during debriefing. Monitor the observer and ensure all events, sightings and reports are recorded and reported. Fill out all forms accurately, completely and legibly.
