Plans for Phase 2 Training(All Countries)Conduct Quality Assurance Checks
Reference from 2009 trainingConduct a Field Hydrographic Survey to IHO
StandardsCollect dataProcess dataConduct quality assurance
Be ready/able to transmit survey deliverables to UKHO for chart updates
Customized Phase 2 Training(Belize)Practice basic surveying principles
Side scan / single beam echosounder acquisition / analysis
Data post-processingTides
Calculate tidal datums from time series data & compare with existing vertical control network information
Practice benchmark network establishment / leveling
Customized Phase 2 Training(Honduras)Practice & Theory: Sidescan Sonar
Operation / data collection / analysisTarget detection & interpretation
TidesBottom to top review
GeodesyUsing dual-frequency receiverEstablishing geodetic control pointLinking horizontal / vertical control networks
Customized Phase 2 Training:(Guatemala)Survey Planning
100% versus 200% coverageHarbor versus Approaches
Boat operations & safetySteering survey lines (coxswain training)Single beam / side scan sonar acquisition and
processing operations Hypack / ImagenexBathymetry & Target analysis / investigation
