So the question stands: given nobody uses the SK anymore what relevance does that procedure have. All modern SAR aircraft have radar up front with appropriate sweep bias and it’s pilot driven radar let downs as a result. Regardless of who thinks what is or was better the point is whether teaching using such a different setup is appropriate and relevant and the clear fact pilots are not able to see radar on screen up front which is what they will need in a 139, 189, 175, 225, 92, even 101 unless I’m mistaken as to NAWSAR airframes. Now if the letdowns are being taught purely VMC and with no radar that’s a whole new level of unacceptability in the modern all weather 4 axis SAR environment. What is taught in newquay in the civilian reg 412 out of curiosity?
