4.2.4 Load Search and Rescue Pattern (Optional)
NOTE: This optional feature is available in software v6.00 and later.
NOTE: Turn smoothing may result in SAR coverage being different than
intended. The flight crew should always verify that the SAR pattern created
conforms to the specific mission requirements.
Search and Rescue Patterns may be added to existing waypoints within
the active flight plan. Only one SAR pattern can exist in the active flight plan.
Loading another SAR pattern into the active flight plan when one already exists
will remove the first SAR pattern.
Each pattern has a default initial track. When the pilot changes the initial
track on a SAR pattern, that change becomes the default initial track the next
time the SAR pattern is accessed within the GTN. The pilot can always change
the initial track when creating a SAR pattern in the flight plan.
NOTE: Flight plans cannot be stored in the catalog if they contain a SAR
pattern.
