Your vessel has an injured crew member onboard that will require evacuation. Which of the following publications should you review for the procedures in conducting rescue/medivac helicopter operations?
• Helicopter rescue/medivac procedures are usually found in search and rescue (SAR) guidance, not general navigation or equipment codes • Differentiate between a search and rescue operations manual and a radio/navigation reference • Understand what the Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code typically covers vs. operational helicopter procedures
• Which option is specifically focused on search and rescue coordination and procedures between ships and aircraft? • Which publication is mainly about radio frequencies, beacons, and communications, rather than step‑by‑step rescue methods? • Does the LSA Code normally describe equipment standards (rafts, lifejackets, etc.) or operational helicopter hoisting procedures?
• Identify which title clearly relates to search and rescue (SAR) operations • Eliminate any answer that is mainly a general handbook for mariners, rather than a formal procedure manual • Verify which publication is used internationally by both maritime and aeronautical SAR services for coordinated rescues
