    Re: Coordinate precision // SAR

    Joint Pub 3-50 was relegated to the dust heap of history in early 2000.

    At that time the U.S. adopted the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual, referred to in the SAR Community as the IAMSAR Manual. The current edition is dated 2016, and later this month it will be replaced by the 2019 edition.

    The United States Supplement to the IAMSAR tailors it to the U.S. The United States Coast Guard Addendum to the SAR Supplement tailors both SAR manuals to the Maritime environment. Both the SAR Supplement and the Addendum are available via the internet. Also available via the internet are the Inland SAR Addendum, and the Catastrophic Incident Addendum.

    The copyright to the IAMSAR Manual is jointly held by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). They are available for purchase at vendors of maritime publications – they are expensive!

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
