EMERGENCY DISTRESS SIGNAL CODE
Six basic emergency distress signal codes are
inscribed on the dial. They are to be used to
communicate with the rescue aircraft from the
ground in case of distress.
Y: YES (Affirmative)
LL: ALL WELL
(Everything is
Y
going well.)
LL
F: REQUIRE FOOD
& WATER (Supply
food and water.) F
X: UNABLE TO
PROCEED (Can
not advance.)
I: REQUIRE
X
DOCTOR
I
(There is a
seriously injured
N
person. Send a
doctor.)
N: NO (Negative)
How to use the emergency distress signal codes
In case of distress, describe the emergency distress
signal codes on the ground so that the search aircraft or
rescue party can easily recognize them. Each letter
should be at least 10 by 10 meters in size with its top
and bottom facing the directions of south and north,
respectively. When describing the code on the field of
snow, dig a ditch or pile up snow in the form of the letter
so that it can be discerned by the shade. If the victim is
weakened and does not have enough physical strength
to describe the codes on the ground, use the clothes or
outfit to form the letters. Grass, branches of trees or
stones can also serve the purpose.
In rescue operations, the rescue aircraft uses a
loudspeaker or a communication tube to send
messages to the victim, but it is difficult for the victim to
respond to the rescuer. The emergency distress signal
codes will facilitate the communication between them
and help the rescue operations progress smoothly.
