Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre (ARCC)  will arrange and coordinate all search & rescue related activities across Southern Africa.

You do not need medical aid or insurance to access the ARCC. Please do not waste time trying to self-rescue.

1. State your emergency (Accident, Heart Attack, etc)
2. State your location/address (General Area, then GPS, what3words, etc)
3. Report complications (Scene: Tree Landing, Steep Cliff, Entrapment. Fracture, Bleeding, Breathing, etc)
4. Supply your NAME and CELLPHONE number
5. Hang up LAST and report back to the accident scene
6. Remain accessible via cellphone.

• NB! Never move the patient person without a medical team!
• Unclip the wing from the carabiners, making sure to not bump or move the patient. This ensures that a gust does not inflate and drag the patient any further. If necessary, cut the lines.
• In hot weather, keep the patient hydrated with little sips of water, and cooled down with a damp cloth. You can also use the wing to provide shade.
• Spread the canopy out to increase visibility to rescuers. A helicopter will create a lot of turbulence - you should bunch up and secure the canopy before the helicopter arrives so that the canopy does not become a hazard for the helicopter.
• Do not speak to the press. Rather contact the SAHPA Safety Manager, who will arrange for a brief Press Release to be published.
