The transfer of search responsibility to CC is done when?

The transfer of search responsibility to the Coordinating Center (CC) occurs when the ALNOT (Alert Notice) search has been completed with negative results. This means that search efforts have concluded without finding the aircraft or any relevant information. At this point, the responsibility for the search is officially shifted to the CC, which typically has the authority and resources to further handle the situation.

When a search results in negative findings, it signifies that despite exhaustive efforts, there are no leads or evidence regarding the missing aircraft. This is crucial for moving forward in the search process, as it allows the CC to take the necessary steps to either continue searching in a more organized manner or to assess the situation further to determine a new course of action.

Transferring responsibility at this stage ensures that there is a clear plan for managing the search and rescue efforts efficiently, as the CC is better equipped to coordinate resources and escalate efforts as needed.
