. Aircraft call sign.

B.4. Time Reporting
Time is given in the 24-hour clock and each digit is said separately. Times given by aircraft in informal radio traffic are expressed in minutes after the hour with the hour not given unless necessary (e.g., “minute two four”).
B.5. Observer Abilities
The observer should be able to:
. Understand latitude and longitude and must be able to relate the current position to ground references as well as chart references. It will help considerably if the observer is able to read and interpret the latitude and longitude from the aircraft global positioning system (GPS) or long-range aid to navigation (LORAN) unit.
. Plot a course from one point on the sectional to another (from the present position to the commence search point (CSP)).
. Plot a search pattern on the sectional and on the marine chart.
. Maintain a geographical awareness so that at any given time the observer can tell the unit maintaining the aircraft guard the given location and direction of travel.
. Read and understand marine charts as well as air sectionals and terminal charts.
B.6. Identification of Vessels
Air observers are expected to be able to identify:
. Coast Guard vessels
. Auxiliary vessels
. Private and commercial vessel types
B.7. Equipment Familiarity
The observer should be familiar with all of the equipment required for operation. This includes, but is not limited to:
. Connecting and operating the marine radio.
. Operating the intercom (setting sensitivity and volume).
. Operating electronic navigation equipment.
. Using and locating all safety equipment (rafts, PFDs, first aid kits).
. Operating emergency radios.
. Using harnesses and seat belts.
. Opening and securing all doors and hatches, as directed by the pilot.
