Initiating a Search Pattern

You can initiate a search pattern to search an area. Different patterns are better suited for different search situations.

  1. Select Where To > Routes > New > Route Using SAR Pattern.
  2. Select a pattern:
    • Select Sector Search when the location of the object is fairly known, the search area is small, and an intensive search is needed.

    • Select Expanding Square when the location of the object is somewhat doubtful, the search area is small, and an intensive search is needed.

    • Select Creeping/Parallel Line when the location of the object is approximate, the search area is small, and a consistent search is needed.

  3. Enter the search parameters.
  4. Select Done.
  5. If necessary, select Engage.
