The National SAR Plan is outlined in which publication?

The question is testing where national search and rescue planning is documented in aviation publications. The Aeronautical Information Manual contains practical guidance on how search and rescue is coordinated, who is responsible, and what pilots and operators should do during an SAR event. It covers initiation of searches, coordination with rescue services, and use of emergency frequencies and reporting channels. The AIP is mainly the country’s current aeronautical data about routes, procedures, and services and doesn’t lay out the national SAR plan itself. NOTAMs convey temporary hazards or changes, not planning documents. FARs are the regulatory rules governing operations, not the SAR coordination procedures. So the National SAR Plan is outlined in the Aeronautical Information Manual.
