1 COLLIER COUNTY WILDERNESS WATERWAY COASTAL PATROL PROCEDURES REV 4 DEC 2015 SPIN 1. Background. These procedures (SPecial INstructions SPIN) cover the conduct of the Wilderness Waterway Coastal Patrol (LWWCP) of the Marco Island (FL-376) and Naples (FL-023) Senior Squadrons, conducted under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Florida wing of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) and Collier County. The WWCP is generally scheduled 2 or 3 times a week. WWCP participant assignments are on the MICAP website calendar at fl376.flwg.us 2. Objective. To patrol the Wilderness Waterway southeast of Marco Island down to Lostman s River and returning up the coastline along the Keys and by Marco Island. The purpose of the patrol is to monitor and record all watercraft and campsite activities, looking for signs of boaters/campers in distress or in need of assistance. Patrol is responsible for communicating to Mission Base any sighted areas of concern. This also includes the sighting of any forest fires in the area of the patrol. 3. Reporting times. The Crew will report for duty at least 45 minutes prior to the planned aircraft departure. Departure should be planned no earlier than 3 hours prior to sunset, but may be flown earlier to accommodate crew schedules or weather considerations. Time of sunset is published in loal newspapers and availale online at by ZIP CODE. Marco Island ZIP CODE is Crew required for WWCP. The minimum crew for a WWCP will consist of a fully qualified Mission Pilot (MP), and Mission Observer (MO). An addition of a Mission Scanner (MS) and/or Aerial Photographer (AP) would be beneficial to the mission. The Mission Base ground crew will consist of a Mission Radio Operator (MRO), WMIRS Coordinator (WC), and an Incident Commander (IC). The MP will contact the Flight and Mission Base crew members, prior to the flight, to verify their availability and coordinate the scheduled mission time. This call should be made NO LATER THAN the preceding day of the mission. 5. Preflight Preparation: a. The MP will obtain weather information. Sources are Flight Services, DUATS or AWOS at WX (239) Unofficial but helpful WX reports leading up to the day of the flight can be found on TV at the Weather Channel, or on the Internet at If the pilot determines that weather conditions are unsuitable, the flight will be canceled and crew members will be notified. b. The Pilot will obtain a flight release from an authorized FRO: Willard Garman ( ) or George Schafer ( ). This Flight Release must be BOTH an electronic release through WMIRS and a verbal release by phone. If these FROs are not available you must contact the WWCP Mission 1C, Lt Col Lee Henderson ( ) for instructions. You CANNOT launch

2 without a flight release! You need to try to contact both FROs before calling Lt Col, Henderson. c. The Pilot, with assistance of the crew members, will preflight the aircraft. Any minor discrepancies will be noted in the A/C logbook and reported to WMIRS. If A/C is found to be not airworthy, the flight will be canceled. Notify the following individuals prior to Grounding the Aircraft: The Aircraft Maintenance Officer (AMO), the Squadron Operations Officer and/or the Squadron Commander. d. The pilot will brief all crew members on the flight, on the emergency procedures and egress, aircraft ditching procedures and on any operation factors that could affect the flight. Personal Flotation Devices (PFD) will be worn by air crews on these sorties. e. The MP must get a radio check on all radios prior to take-off. Coordinate with the MRO by phone or radio immediately prior to take off to insure online WMIRS 2 is up and running and that radios are ready for the mission. The plane should not take off prior to confirmation that the MRO is ready. This is particularly important when the plane is taking off from Naples Airport and the MRO is located at Marco Island Mission Base and a radio check is not possible. In this case it must be done by phone. 6. Mission Base. a. The WMIRS Coordinator (WC) will open WMIRS for the monthly Collier County MOU Mission Number and open the specific Sortie for the present date. The WC shall check in participants and aircraft, and assign duties. This should be done no later than the morning of the scheduled patrol. In the case WMIRS is not working the computer a manual form (ICS211) will be used to log in participants. This will then be uploaded into the sortie files at the end of the mission. b. The Mission Radio Operator (MRO) will open the Radio Station at least 15 minutes prior to departure, insure the Status Board and Communications Log are up and ready for use on the computer for the subject Mission Number, Sortie and date. In the case WMIRS is not working on the computer, a manual log (ICS110) will be used. This will then be uploaded into the sortie files at the end of the mission. c. Radios available to the Mission Radio Operator include the CAP Radio (On Air 1), the Marine Radio (on Channel 16) and the VHF FM CAP Radio (On CAP Guard) and the VHF Radio on Channel will be the back-up channel for communication with Mission Base. (See Com Plan, Attachment 3) d. The Mission Base phone is: e. Report Forest Fires to Phone Call Initial Procedures and Radio Logs. After aircraft start-up, the observer and radio operator will perform a radio check per the published radio procedures. The patrol flight cannot depart the airport without a positive radio contact (If taking off from Naples Airport this must be done by phone). The call sign for the CAP Aircraft is the individual assigned CAP call sign CAP _. The call sign for the mission base radio station is MISSION BASE. The Aircraft CAP radio should be set to Marine Channel 16 on the top and CAP AIR 1 on the bottom (Guard). NOTE for aircraft with old style CAP radio, which only allows

3 monitoring of one station at a time, Mission Base communication will be on and monitoring of channel 16 will be on the CAP radio. (See Com Plan, Attachment 3) The Mission Base Radio Operator will record each radio transmission on the Communication Log and the Mission Observer will record on the WWCP Mission Log: radio transmission times, checkpoint times and counts for boats and active campsites. The log is provided in Attachment (2) and on the Marco Island Senior Squadron website on the home page on the right (fl376.flwg.us). This log will be uploaded into the Sortie files at the completion of the mission. 8. WWCP Route and Checkpoints. The pilot will fly the published WWCP route, starting on WP1 at the Collier Seminole State Park. The map of the WWCP checkpoints is provided as Attachment 1. In case of circumstances, such as weather, the Mission Aircrew may fly the route at the crew s discretion around the 10,000 Islands down to Lostman s River. The Mission Observer will report wheels up (at a safe altitude) per the Mission Log. Once the flight is airborne the Mission Base Radio Operator (MRO) will make contact with USCG, Fort Myers Station on USCG Channel 16 on the CAP Radio. This call is made at the beginning and end of the patrol. Follow script provided by Com Officer Fred Edwards (Located in Com room). The WWCP cruise altitude is 1,000 feet at 100 knots airspeed. 9. Mission Base and Aircrew Responsibilities (Summary) General o Only full-trained crews allowed no training allowed o Limited FROs (Garman and Schaefer) Report any problems with reaching FROs to the WWCP 1C, Lt Col Lee Henderson ( ) You CANNOT launch without a flight release! Make sure you try to reach both FRO s before calling Lt Col Henderson. o No shortcuts on paperwork (brief, ORM, debrief, uploads to Sortie Files) complete, detailed and accurate. Mission Pilot (MP) o Before the fight contact and brief the WMIRS Coordinator and crew o Add sortie to WMIRS (fill out brief and ORM) o Verify that all crew members are qualified o Obtain Flight release o Insure MO has Mission Log sheet o Record sortie on aircraft log sheet (AIF book) o Debrief in WMIRS o Inform WMIRS Coordinator when debrief has been completed in WMIRS o Insure MO uploads mission log o Upload fuel receipt. The use of the Multi-service card is NOT authorized for these patrols. Fuel is to be charged to the MICAP squadron account. Mission Observer (MO) o Responsible for maintaining Mission Log entries (See Attachment 2) o Responsible for reporting on CAP radio to Mission Base (See Com Plan Attachment 3)

4 o Reporting schedule radio check (on report contact with USCG; entering patrol at WP1, every 15 minutes, report requesting RTB, and wheels down. Also report any Forest Fires in the area to Mission Base. o Report boat/water raft and active campsite counts at each 15-minute checkpoint o At end of mission, tally total number of boat/watercraft count and active campsite count o Scan and upload the Mission Log into Sortie Files in WMIRS (found on the Edit page). Naming format needs to comply with instructions at the bottom of the Mission Log sheet. Mission Radio Operator (MRO) o Open WMIRS at Mission Base (Status Board and Communications Log) o Obtain Radio check with Aircraft prior to Take Off. In the event the Take Off is from an Airport other than Marco Island coordination must be made by phone. o Check in with Fort Myers USCG done at beginning, once airborne, and at end of patrol Identify yourself as Civil Air Patrol Marco Island Mission Base (See script in Com Room) o Log aircraft reports including Boats/Watercrafts and active campsites counts (be brief but precise) o Check-Out all personnel only those associated with this particular sortie o Check-Out aircraft o Log off WMIRS Mission completed WMIRS Coordinator (WC) o Will be assigned to each WWCP Sortie o Responsible for opening the mission in WMIRS (check in participants/aircraft and assign duty positions. Lt Col Henderson is always assigned as the IC. o Debrief with PIC and view debrief in WMIRS (notify PIC if discrepancies are found) o Debrief should be reviewed within 24 hours of sortie o Check WMIRS mission files to be sure both Mission Log and fuel receipt were uploaded o Record sortie details on Collier County WWCP Expense Worksheet o At the end of each month send WWCP Expense Worksheet to MICAP commander 10. Boats in Distress. The flight crew will observe all boats for any indication of trouble or anything else during the mission that should be reported. Occupants of a disabled vessel would fly an orange distress flag, use signal flares, smoke signals, wave life jackets, etc. Any vessel obviously aground should be investigated. Circle the vessel in distress and try to contact them on Marine Radio Channel 16. If they require assistance report a description of the vessel, location, number of occupants and the nature of the distress to the Mission Base Radio Operator. The Radio Operator will call THE IC AND PROCEED AS INSTRUCTED for the Emergency Contact procedures in this publication (item #10). 11. Emergency Contacts. It is the responsibility of the Mission Radio Operator to initiate contact with outside agencies, as directed by the IC. Generally the Coast Guard and Sea Tow can be contacted by Marine Radio channel 16. If a distress call comes in by Marine Channel 16, monitor the radio traffic and alert the Mission Radio Operator and the US Coast Guard, but do not interfere with transmissions between the Coast Guard and the individuals requesting assistance. However, based on your aircraft altitude, you may be the only radio in

5 range of boats that are off the Coast in the Gulf of Mexico. The most help you can render in this case is to act as a radio relay between the Coast Guard and the vessel in distress. Increasing aircraft altitude, decreasing the airspeed (and fuel burn), and holding the current position in an orbit are all options. A boat that is broken down and in radio or telephone communications with Seat Tow or the Coast Guard does not constitute an emergency situation. However, a vessel on file or sinking would constitute an emergency, and your Eyes on Target and communications of the situation could be essential until help arrives at the scene. DO NOT FLY BEYOND GLIDING IDSTANCE OF LAND! DO NOT PURSUE AS A RESCUE MISSION, UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN YOU ARE WITHIN GLIDING DISTANCE OR LAND, AND YOUR OVERHEAD PRESENCE WILL ASSIST IN SAVING LIVES. MAKE SURE THE MISSION RADIO OPERATOR INFORMS THE INCIDENT COMMANDER OF THE SITUATION, AND THAT THE CAP NATIONAL OPERATIONS CENTER IS INFORMED OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE OF A CAP AIRCRAFT. 12. Actions in event of an ELT Signal. The aircrew should monitor the emergency frequency of on the VHF FM radio and MHZ on the BECKER during the duration of the flight. Occasionally turning off squelch may help in hearing an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT). Should an ELT signal be heard while on patrol, call Mission Base to report your position and direction of the signal using the Becker ELT Direction finder. DO NOT PROSECUTE ELT SIGNALS WITHOUT A MISSION # ASSIGNMENT FROM AFRCC, UNLESS IT IS AN OBVIOUS MAYDAY SITUAITON WITH LIVES IN IMMEDIATE DANGER1 13. Lost Communications with Mission Base. Keep the Mission Base radio station informed at all times. In the event of lost communication for30 minutes you shall abort the mission and return to base (RTB) Contact Mission Base immediately after landing. 14. Return to Base and Closing Procedures. When the route is completed the MO should request RTB from Mission Base. It is possible you may receive further tasking at this point. Upon return to base, the Mission Observer will complete the Mission Log and insure the Mission Log is uploaded into WMIRS Sortie Files. All post flight procedures and refueling procedures apply.
