ICAO Annex 12 — Search and Rescue

Read the official rule

Annex 12 organises search and rescue (SAR) — how states set up SAR regions, coordinate centres, and conduct operations to locate and assist aircraft in distress, including international cooperation across borders. *Summary only — consult ICAO and national SAR authorities.*

This is an original plain-English explanation for training and reference, not legal advice and not for navigation. Always rely on the current official rule linked above. Last reviewed June 2, 2026.
