Man Overboard
The Man Overboard (MOB) function enables management of a MOB
emergency. When MOB is active, a symbol is displayed on the chart
display representing `Oscar' – the person in the water.
A MOB operation may be immediately activated by clicking on the
top-level MOB (Oscar) button in the upper toolbar. The Oscar
button is shown in a yellow background whenever the MOB event is active.
When there is no active MOB event the button is shown in the
standard background colour.
Upon activating the MOB event a symbol is dropped at own ship's CCRP.
The Oscar button changes to a yellow background with black outline and
the Man Overboard window appears with the bearing, range, latitude,
longitude and elapsed time values. Elapsed time counts up, while range,
bearing and LAT/LON values update automatically based on own ship
movements. Oscar will drift from the initial location based on the own ship
set and drift at the time the event started.
WARNING!
THE POSITION AND HEADING DATA USED BY THE SYSTEM
MUST BE VALID AND ACCURATE TO USE THE MAN
OVERBOARD FEATURE AS DESCRIBED BELOW; OTHERWISE
ERRONEOUS INFORMATION CAN BE INDICATED. IF THIS IS THE
CASE ALTERNATIVE METHODS SHOULD BE USED TO ASSIST
WITH SEARCH AND RESCUE OF THE PERSON WHO HAS GONE
OVERBOARD.
A MOB event may also be activated from the Man Overboard window from
the NAV Tools menu and clicking the
Start button on this window.
Unlike clicking the MOB button on the upper toolbar, accessing the
Man Overboard window does NOT immediately generate a MOB
operation. Therefore the preferred method to start an MOB event is
via the Oscar button in the upper toolbar.
