SAR-MCC-RCC: Systems & Procedures-1:
Which action should the GMDSS radio operator take in a Distress situation when embarking in survival craft?
  • EPIRB and SART switched on manually prior to embarking; remain aboard vessel in Distress.
  • Notify RCC (Rescue Coordination Center) through VHF DSC in portable equipment.
  • Correct Answer
    Switch on EPIRB and SART immediately and leave on.
  • Communicate via Inmarsat-C from the survival craft.

Which of these would be vital to a GMDSS SAR situation in polar regions?
  • GOES satellites to receive Distress Alerts and HF Voice for follow-on and SAR activity.
  • GOES satellites to receive Distress Alerts and Inmarsat Voice for follow-on and SAR activity.
  • Inmarsat satellites to receive Distress Alerts and HF Voice for follow-on and SAR activity.
  • Correct Answer
    COSPAS/SARSAT satellites to receive Distress Alerts and VHF-HF Voice for follow-on and SAR activity.

Which statement is NOT true regarding the COSPAS-SARSAT system?
  • Correct Answer
    The position of the EPRIB is always transmitted in the outgoing transmission (unless the unit is a GPIRB).
  • Signals received by low altitude, near-polar orbiting satellites are relayed to a ground receiving station (LUT).
  • Doppler shift is used to locate the position of the EPIRB.
  • EPIRBs are satellite beacons used as alerting & homing devices.

Which statement is false regarding the COSPAS-SARSAT system and EPIRB operations?
  • The EPIRB's position is calculated by the system and passed to the MCC.
  • The EPIRB transmits a unique Hex I.D. and vessel position that may be passed to the RCC.
  • Correct Answer
    The EPIRB's position and Hex I.D. is passed instantaneously to the RCC.
  • The EPIRB transmits a unique Hex I.D. that is passed to the RCC if it cannot be determined to be inadvertent by the MCC.
