Search and Rescue: DGCA Air Regulations questions
Search and rescue is the service that finds and helps people in distress, including the survivors of an accident. Annex 12 organises it through search and rescue regions, each with a rescue coordination centre, and sets out the visual signals survivors and aircraft use.
The 17 questions are about recognition and procedure: ground-to-air signal codes, the colours of dropped supply containers, distress frequencies, COSPAS-SARSAT, and what a pilot must do on intercepting a distress call. Exam sessions have included 1 of the SAR questions here.
Two survivor signals are easy to mix up. V asks for assistance and X asks for medical assistance. Supply colours follow a fixed code: red for medical supplies, blue for food and water, yellow for blankets and protective clothing, black for other equipment.
