Since October 1998, the response time
to call-outs for Type A+ and Type A Casevac has been reduced from
20 minutes to 15 minutes. The search and rescue call-outs have also
been further categorised into inshore and offshore with response times
dependent on actual time of call-out as follows :- |
| |
|
Inshore SAR (0700 - 1759) - reduced from
45 to 20 minutes. |
| |
|
Inshore SAR (1800 - 2159) - remains the
same (i.e., 45 minutes). |
| |
*
|
Inshore SAR (2200 - 0659)
- extended from 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Offshore SAR (0700 - 2159) - remains the same (i.e., 45 minutes). |
| |
* |
Offshore SAR (2200 - 0659)
- extended from 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. |
| |
* |
Extra travelling time is required for
additional crews to reach the GFS Headquarters at Chek Lap Kok when
called to assist in an emergency situation between 2200 - 0659. Figures
for 1997 and 1998 (January to September) are based on previous response
time. |
