I usually 'sprint and drift' whilst searching the datum. Dropping below the layer if possible and notching the engines up to full for 15-45 minutes, then slowing down to 5 knots, poking up above the layer, having a good listen and then dropping down again.
If anything comes up then I'll see if I can figure which way it's going and try to get ahead of it and set up an ambush.
