Now that I've heard the RAF Sea King procedure I'd be interested if anyone could explain the procedure for a radar letdown in IMC in an offshore/coastal area used by civilian SAR aircraft such as the S-61 or S-92?
How much separation would be maintained to obstacles/cliffs etc. during the letdown to the cleared area. How much sea room would be required for instance in a coastal area?
Is it possible for the approaches to the cleared area to be made out of wind?
Would like to hear it from a different perspective, using 120 degree radar.
