Before flying a search pattern, what information do you need from the IC before flying the mission and pattern?
Thank you

Are you a MP?
Its a long list, to be divided up and overlap between you and the MO and MS:
- What are you looking for? Lost person, downed plane?
- What area is to be searched on your sortie? Coords, etc.
- What type of search pattern should you fly?
- A weather briefing is always nice.
- A safety and sortie plan meeting with your MO and MS would be a good thing.
- 50 other items .....

Thank you etodd. It was a badly worded question on my part. I have done some research and no further response is necessary,
