Form 107

CASARA SAR OPS REPORT

This form provides a tasking agency (i.e. JRCC or police) with a written summary of a single mission. (E.g. ELT search). Most cells are self-explanatory. This form may not be suitable for a mission during a major or extended search.

Task number/SAR Name: It is very important to include this information, as it will enable the tasking agency to reference this information to their file.

Task Assigned: Is a brief summary of what task was assigned to us by the tasking agency.

Sortie 1-4 There are times when a search a/c will land somewhere for a break, or a 
meeting with someone. Use a different sortie for every flight during a mission, or you won?t be able to keep the times straight. NOTE: When filling out the forms in a computer, when entering times, use the 24 hr. clock but separate the hour and minutes with a colon. This
will allow the form to calculate the total flying times.

ELT Information: This information is very important to JRCC. Ensure that it is filled out with as much information as possible. In the remarks section, include information the physical location of the ELT, whether it was in a hangar with the door open, facing south, or whatever.

Form Submitted by: If JRCC has any questions, this enables JRCC to contact them.
