Summary
| Description |
Italiano: Per comunicare con un elicottero a vista le persone a terra devono alzare entrambe le braccia - in modo da rassomigliare ad una lettera Y (yes, sì in lingua inglese) - per indicare "Sì, abbiamo bisogno di aiuto", oppure alzare un braccio ed abbassare l'altro - in modo da rassomigliare ad una lettera N per significare "no" - ovvero "Non necessitiamo di aiuto". Questo è particolarmente importante per l'equipaggio dell'elicottero in quanto può rapidamente distinguere le persone in difficoltà da altri gruppi presenti nella zona.
English: To communicate with a helicopter in sight, raise both arms (forming the letter Y) to indicate "Yes" or "I need help," or stretch one arm up and one down (imitating the letter N) for "No" or "I do not need help". If semaphore flags are available, they can possibly be used to communicate with rescuers. This is important if the helicopter is searching for a missing party to avoid confusion. |
