Initial inquiry indicates that the bulk of “other” are hikers, and the reporting form will be revised to determine this. The vast amount of man-days expended in search efforts for missing aircraft is partially indicated by a comparison of man-days in Table I with number of aircraft operations shown in the above table. Proportionally more man-days are involved in downed-aircraft searches than in other types of search and rescue operations.
