Chapter 6  Communication/Navigation

 
Introduction
 Communication and navigation skills are required for those Auxiliarists qualifying as pilots, air observers, or air crew.  These skills must be initially learned, but unless practiced on a regular basis, it is unlikely that a sufficient skill level will be retained to remain comfortable and effective in the current mission environment.
When on a mission, it is important to know what other units, surface vessels, helicopters, etc., are involved, and the altitudes, separation requirements, and communications protocol.  It is also important to know what information may be conveyed on these open frequencies and what should be reported on a land-line or post mission in writing.
This chapter describes the communication/navigation requirements and equipment necessary for effectively operating in the aviation mission environment.

Section A. Radio Communications

 
Introduction
 The primary purpose of AUXAIR patrols is to act as the eyes for Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary operations and transmit the information gathered to shore or other operating facilities.  With the exception of ATON missions, ice patrols, and some sensitive information emanating from PWCS, this is accomplished primarily by radio; therefore, the ability and competency of all involved in using the radio is of utmost importance.  The factors involved are:  the radio, its installation, the antenna system, internal crew communications, and the operator’s skill in using the radio with proper and effective radio technique.
 
A.1.  Communication Partners
 A typical Auxiliary aircraft on a multi-mission patrol, environmental flight, or SAR response will maintain communications both with an FAA facility and with Coast Guard and/or Coast Guard Auxiliary unit(s).
