7R-A-28: SART: SAR Procedures & RADAR Presentation
7R-28E1:
How does the searching vessel's radar interrogate a survival craft SART?
The SART responds automatically when it detects the search craft or other vessels' X-Band radar signal.
Activate the IFF interrogation system.
Maintain watch on VHF-FM Ch-70 for the SART's unique identifier.
The SART responds automatically when it detects the search craft or other vessel's 3.5 GHz radar signal.
7R-28E2:
What does a SART signal sound or look like?
It will appear on a radar unit's PPI as a line of dots radiating outward, with the innermost dot indicating the SART's position.
It transmits "SOS" and the vessel's name and position in slow speed Morse Code.
It will appear on a radar unit's PPI as a line of dots radiating outward, with the outermost dot indicating the SART's position.
None of the above
7R-28E3:
How can rescue personnel detect that a SART is transmitting in the immediate vicinity?
The SART's dots on the PPI will become arcs and then eventually become concentric circles.
The DSC unit will react to the SART's signal and respond with the two-tone auto alarm.
The SART can provide an approximate location to within a two nautical mile radius, per IMO standards.
The SART signal appears as a target which comes and goes; the effect of heavy swells on a SART.
7R-28E4:
What signal is detected as originating from an SART?
A line of dots on a radar screen outward from the SART's position along its line of bearing.
The Morse code Distress series S-O-S repeated three times followed by DE and the vessel's call sign.
A line of dots on a radar screen inward from the SART's position to its own ship along its line of bearing.
None of these
7R-28E5:
How can vessel personnel detect the operation of a SART in its vicinity?
A unique radar signal consisting of a 12 dots radiating outward from a SART's position along its line of bearing.
A unique two-tone "warbling" signal heard on VHF-FM Ch-70.
A unique two-tone alarm signal heard upon the automatic un-muting of the 2182 kHz radiotelephone automatic watch receiver.
The SART signal appears as a target which comes and goes; the effect of heavy swells on an SART.
7R-28E6:
How should the signal from a Search And Rescue Radar Transponder appear on a radar display?
A series of 12 equally spaced dots.
A series of dashes.
A series of spirals all originating from the range and bearing of the SART.
A series of twenty dashes.
