Paraglider
Search & Rescue (SAR)
July
26, 2006
The
Route 66 Flyers in Albuquerque, NM have imbedded themselves into the local
search and rescue community, becoming a useful addition to its
capabilities. This is due significantly to the efforts of Ed Poccia with
help from others, who have taken the time to cultivate relationships and
responsibly offer their services.
Ed
has created a presentation that serves as a starting point for others
wanting to start a program in their area. Of course not all geographies
are conducive to using powered paragliders. After all, woodlands would be
prohibitively risky to use a PPG since, one of the first rules of SAR, is
to avoid needing rescue yourself.
First,
work out whether or not your local rescue services would be willing to
work with you. Then see how they want to use you, possibly offering a copy
of this program so they see the serious capability of the powered
paraglider.
