INVESTIGATION CONTEXT
Reported Incident: A small private aircraft carrying four family members crashed approximately 15 miles off the coast of Andros Island, Bahamas. Authorities conducted maritime recovery efforts in coordination with local defense and search agencies.
IAMSAR Methodology: Drift vectors combine total water current (TWC) and aeronautical leeway drift. Probability of Detection (POD) is computed as POD = 1 − e−C, where Coverage factor C = (Search Velocity × Hours × Sweep Width) / Search Area.
