  10. Actions of the Ground Team • The vehicle front is labeled as 12 o'clock and so on around like a typical clock so that there is uniformity The navigator needs to be continuously aware and notice possible turns or hazards ahead of time and notify the driver so that hazards can be avoided

  11. INDICATING DIRECTION The aircraft and your vehicle both use the clock system to designate a direction. In radio traffic, make sure you specify if the direction is from the vehicle or the aircraft.

  12. Actions of the Ground Team Continued • The vehicle should be quiet, and preferably have the windows open so that the team will notice things out of the ordinary such as smoke or cries for help Never leave the vehicle to go off-road without your gear

  13. Actions of the Ground Team Continued • Stay as calm as possible and don't break any laws in the process such as speeding or hanging out the window to see the aircraft or survivor • SAFETY always comes first!

  14. Using a Signal Mirror to Attract Attention • Signal mirrors can attract an aircrew’s attention from many (20+) miles away • Signals should be aimed at the aircraft wings so that the aircrew is not blinded

  15. Signal Mirror Continued Sight your target between your V-shaped fingers and make sure the light is reflecting off of the tips of your fingers to ensure your signal reaches the target.
