SAR Watch Terminated
When an aircraft calls a UNHAS radio room and announces “SAR watch
terminated”, it generally indicates the aircraft has either:
• Completed flying operations for the day.
• Will be on the ground for an extended period of time.
When the UNHAS radio room receives this call, the radio operator must repeat
back the message including the words “SAR watch terminated”
Example:
JAV this is UNR001W circuit area Erbil, cancel SAR over
UNR001W this is JAV circuit area Erbil, SAR watch terminated out
Radio Room Procedures
The UNHAS radio room will maintain a constant watch on the assigned frequencies
and answer all calls from the aircraft, ensuring the log assigned for this purpose is
completed.
