SARTIME FORDEPARTURE
When submitting flight notification, a pilotmay nominate a SARTIME for
departure for the initial departure aerodrome. For intermediate departure, it
may be nominated by telphone after landing, or as part of the arrival report
associatedwith that arodrome. Only oneSARTIMEmay be current at any
time.
Teh nimination of a SARTIME for departuredoes not absolve thepilot
from complyingwith the requirements for the carriageof servicable radio
equiptment, nor frommaking the prescribed reports.
Pilots of other than IFRRPT flights, wishing toextend theSARWATCH for
the period of landing and subsequent take-off,may nominate a SARTIME
for departurewhen arriving at an aerodromewhere radio or ground
communication cannot reasonably be assured. SAR alerting actionwill be
initiated if a taxiing or departure report is not received by thenominated
SARTIME.
An IFR departure report is not sufficient to cancel a SARTIME for Departure.
Pilotswhohave nominated a SARTIME for Departuremust use the phrase
‘CANCELSARTIME’ with thedeparture report.
