SAR Ops Range + Endurance
A quick question, could anyone provide me with some outline figures for the maximum range from base out to sea SAR operations take place and the endurance and expected times for a rescue operation to take place. I believe the Sikorsky S-61 Seaking is the popular helicopter for these operations?

Also is the high line technique the preferred and method of recovery? Also finally, is it preferred that recovery from vessels take place when the vessel is stationary, or making way?

Thanks in advance.
