This Saturday, from 9:00-12:00, our squadron will conduct Emergency Services training for cadets. Specifically, we will be concentrating on the training you need in order to serve on a CAP Urban Direction Finding team. What is a UDF team ? A UDF team would typically be deployed to search for an aircraft on or near the airport that is signaling an emergency through activation of it's emergency locator transmitter (ELT). 

 

We will be covering topics like personal equipment to carry, phone alert procedures, using a compass, basic communications and finding a bearing to an emergency locator transmitter. In addition, we will talk about general information you need to know about emergency services and how search and rescue missions are conducted. 

 

Uniform of the day: ABU's

What to bring - notebook and pen to write down notes/information, personal water container.
