🔍 Key Concepts

• Search and Rescue (SAR) visibility from aircraft and vessels • How large groups vs scattered individuals appear at sea • Standard survival craft and liferaft procedures in emergencies

đź’­ Think About

• From the viewpoint of a search aircraft, which option would make you easier to spot on the open ocean surface? • Which action would make it simpler and faster for a rescue vessel or aircraft to account for all survivors once they locate you? • In rough seas or low visibility, what configuration of rafts is least likely to lose people from the group?

âś… Before You Answer

• Verify which choice creates the largest single, easily visible target on the water • Consider which option makes maintaining headcount and mutual aid between survivors easiest • Eliminate any option that would separate people over a wide area, making them harder to find and rescue together
