U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary aircrews regularly conduct flyovers to assess the inlets and waterways for Coast Guard Small Boat Stations. These waterway assessments are conducted in order to identify and photo-document shoaling and navigational obstructions around major inlets and Intracoastal Waterways.

The overflights benefit Coast Guard surface units in determining the location of shifting shoals and sandbars, showing coxswains and break-in coxswains where the best water would be when transiting. These AUXAIR missions are another example of how well the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary work together!
