AUG. 21] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE

The message will always be in plain English.
(b) Concerning an aircraft missing on a flight over the sea but
concerning which there is no other definite distress
information. The message will be in the nature of a
request to shipping on or near the route to keep a lookout
for survivors, &c.
“Rescue aircraft begins XXX . . . . .” (followed
by the text of the message which will include the route
of the aircraft).
The message will be in plain English and need not be answered
unless it contains a request to do so.

APPENDIX D
Communication with Aircraft Searching for Survivors
(1) All military aircraft on search and rescue operations maintain watch on 500 kc/s. (W/T) at the following times:
(i) From ten minutes past each hour until twenty minutes
past each hour.
(ii) From forty minutes past each hour until fifty minutes
past each hour. (All times are G.M.T.)
Messages under para. 9 A (iv) may be sent to merchant ships
at these times and messages from ships to aircraft should similarly
be sent at these times. Searching aircraft and merchant ships
should maintain wireless silence on this frequency from 15 to 18 and
from 45 to 48 minutes past each hour.
(2) Merchant ships should use their normal W/T and R/T call
signs when communicating with aircraft. An aircraft wishing to
send a message to a merchant ship by W/T without knowing its
call sign will use the signal of inquiry “CQ” in place of the call
sign of the ship and “GEZAA” followed by the last two numerals
of the aircraft’s service number instead of its own call sign. A
merchant ship wishing to call an aircraft without knowing its call
sign will use “GEZAA” in place of the call sign of the aircraft.
(3) Military aircraft on search and rescue operations maintain
continuous watch on 6500 kc/s. (W/T) by day and 3805 kc/s. (W/T)
at night and W/T messages to them may be sent by ships on
those frequencies. Aircraft will answer such messages on the same
frequency.

February, 1947.
NOTES
The foregoing procedure closely follows that of New Zealand.
Appendix C.—R/T broadcasts are made on the frequencies of
1,840 kc/s. and 2,024 kc/s. in New Zealand.
Appendix D.—At present, R.N.Z.A.F. aircraft on search
operations maintain a continuous listening watch with controlling
aeradio stations. Ships wishing to pass messages to such aircraft
should do so through shore stations, but should direct contact
be desirable, arrangements will be made through the controlling
authorities to issue appropriate instructions.
