Search and Rescue (SAR) (If Equipped)
The Search and Rescue feature has four basic search patterns to provide
air crews with step by step tracking procedures for the search and rescue
mission. The search pattern options are: Parallel Track, Sector (example
shown in gure below), Expanding Square, and Circular (if equipped with
enhanced SAR).
All patterns have adjustable parameters. The most effective pattern may be
chosen based on available information about the search object, the weather,
and the terrain. Typical ight planning parameters such as time, speed,
distance, and fuel remaining are given throughout the search mission on the
ight plan pages.
In the example below, the Sector pattern option is activated and the search
covers a 10 nm radius around the CRIBS intersection. For operational
guidance of the Search and Rescue system, refer to the Garmin G1000
Search and Rescue Pilot’s Guide (190-00760-00).

NOTE: If the “Activate Now” window appears and cannot be selected,
enter the desired waypoint in the waypoint eld.
NOTE: When using the circle search SAR pattern, the SUSP softkey will
be shown. This softkey will not be available to unsuspend the pattern,
unless there is a waypoint loaded in the ight plan to follow the SAR
pattern.
NOTE: With a SAR ight plan active, entering a direct-to a waypoint that
exists multiple times in the SAR ight plan will result in the navigation to the
rst occurrence of that waypoint. Selecting a direct-to a waypoint within the
SAR ight plan will provide navigation to that specic occurrence.
