"Missing! Phase 1"

no too many details...  surprises waiting you during the flight!

 

Aircraft: King Air 350 ID PF772. 

Situation: Takeoff from Rancagua (SCRG) Chile to search for a missing aircraft on Cordilliera Andes. The search zone is near Chile-Argentina border. When  near to  SARE copilot will swicth on automatic heading indicator. From this time heading indicator will point continuously toward SARE and you can read  distance from it on DME equipment. With distance and position, to SARE, you'll be able to make  concentric circle covering entire SARE's range. Weather change rapidly on high mountains and  we are the last hope for possible survivors...
