Small SARCAP 21 Apr 2007

We have an official unofficial SAREX today. AAR to follow shortly, but the details are as posted:

Originally this stared as a aircrew training exercise with a (me) certified MRO as dispatch, but evolved into a joint AC/GT exercise. I'm unaware of the exact number of GT we will have but I know for sure it will be at least a UDF with myself and another SQ member. (I had 3 loads of Jet and Avgas to offload at the local FBO today and was unable to be near the phone for most of the day hence the unknown portion of this section).

Morning will consist of AC training on a Route Survey, with communications support/ training for the UDF as MRO's and MB Staff. AC will then switch to an ELT DF coordinated with the UDF after the survey is completed.

We (the UDF/GT) will be fielding a few new technologies such as a in-vehicle laptop and Delorme Topo based GPS system coordinated with a few handheld and dash-mounted vehicle GPS units. We will also be testing out the new handheld DF unit our SQ recieved back in Feb, along with working out some body blocking with air band and WB handheld scanner radios.
