  1. Hello, i have two questions, when i rotate the ipad to landscape i cant see the settings for the search patterns, this is only posible with potrait. Is it posible to change the data within the landscape?

    Is it posible to create an option for completing the expanding square in time instead of distance? example: start with 2x1min then 2x2min.

  2. Dear Adam,

    I have just purchased the App "SearchPattern Pro Sea" and I am quite satisfied in general.
    But there is a huge bug in the app....

    When using the "sector search" or "expanding square search" over sea, the rescue unit must not follow static waypoints, but goes by time only!

    The rescue unit must drift with the present leeway current (the common vector calculated from wind driven current and sea driven current) when following the pattern.
    It is a dynamic search.

    Therefore it would be great, when you can change the calculation of sector and expanding square to the following:
    - create a window each for wind current (direction and speed) and water current (direction and speed).
    - automatic calculation to the resulting leeway current (direction and speed).
    - display of time to follow each leg (calculated by speed of rescue unit, trackspacing and resulting length of leg) and direction of legs.

    For any search over land, waypoints can be used, of course, since the object is not effected by any currents and remains static.

    Sector Search and Expanding Square Search is a single-unit-search-pattern and is being used only when the search area is small and the person/object is being lost a small amount of time.

    Fore more info, see IAMSAR-Manual, Vol. 3.

    I am working as a Duty Officer in the MRCC of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service and do conduct plenty of searches during the year.

    Thank you very much and hope for an update soon,

    Olaf Salzbrunn

    P.S.: same goes for SearchPatterns Pro Air...., by the way....

  6. As many of you know or are figuring out, the app no longer works with iOS 11 because it is a 32bit app. I plan on rewriting everything from scratch and getting a new version out as soon as I can. I am finishing up the new ColdAltitude app and will soon start developing a new SearchPatternsPro app. It will take some time as I have to learn everything as I go and find the time to do all this. I appreciate your patience and support!

  7. hello. how many time do you think to wait for the new rewriting? it's possible to recomend to include some aditionals functions? like to calculate the POC (probability of containment), POS (probability of success) and more important how to calculate the DATUM with know information like leeway, wind or others?? I was use the app in really SAR missions and is very functional, but could be better with this information. thanks. my email is londonofelipe1981@gmail.com

  8. We use the search pattern pro as an operational tool. please let us know if there is anything we can do to help support an upgrade to IOS 11 as soon as possible.
