Part B Section Appendix A.5
If a large boat is involved it is best to approach the stationary boat head on and into wind.
If mooring to a boat this needs to be by a line long enough to eliminate the risk of the wing
being damaged by striking the boat as the aircraft swings on its line.
07 MAN OVERBOARD
This is most likely to occur during the anchoring, mooring etc or whilst working with boats.
If taxiing into wind when a crew member is lost overboard it is best to stop engines and sail
back until a life line can be thrown to the person.
If that is not possible, throw over a life jacket (inflated) or life belt as a marker then move
on , turn the aircraft and track back to the marker so as to approach the marker in an into
wind direction.
Some pilots have found lost crew by taking off away from where the person was lost,
searching from the air then landing so as to approach the person into the wind after
landing.
