11. 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.
