WHAT IS AN «AIRPORT EMERGENCY PLAN»
What is AEP?The process of preparing an aerodrome to cope with an emergency occurring at the aerodrome or in its vicinity.
What are the objective(s) of AEP?To minimize the effects of an emergency, particularly in respect of saving lives and maintaining aircraft operations
![Page 3: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ICAO Provisions on AEP
What do the AEP contain?
The aerodrome emergency plan sets forth the procedures for coordinating the response of different aerodrome agencies (or services) and of those agencies in the surrounding community that could be of assistance in responding to the emergency.

Structure of Airport Emergency Plan (AEP)
• Each airport has its individual needs & peculiarities • Political, jurisdictional and agency differences may
exist and continue but the basic needs and concepts of emergency planning must always evolve around these 3 Cs :-
* Command & Control * Coordination * Communication
![Page 9: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Structure of Airport Emergency Plan (AEP)
• AEP shall provide co-ordination of the actions to be taken in an emergency occurring at
- at an airport - in its vicinity
![Page 10: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Structure of AEP• The AEP should give clear instructions to ensure the
prompt and efficient actions of each responding agency e.g. rescue and fire-fighting services, police, medical services, etc.
• A comprehensive AEP must consider * pre-planning BEFORE an emergency * operations DURING an emergency * support and documentation AFTER an emergency
![Page 11: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Structure of AEP
• Pre-planning BEFORE an emergency * Planning for handling all foreseeable emergencies that could occur to cripple normal airport operations. * list these emergencies and identify the resources needed to tackle the individual emergency in the most effective and “productive” way.
![Page 12: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Structure of AEP
• Operations DURING an emergency * considerations depend on the stage, nature and location of the emergency and adapt to changes in an emergency e.g. change in command and control authority or dramatic change or worsening of situation.
![Page 13: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Structure of AEP• Support and documentation AFTER an emergency * not as urgent as preceding events * transition of authority and responsibility after mitigation actions must be planned in advance * documentation of an emergency operations will help gathering and organising for various post-accidents reports
![Page 14: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Structure of AEP
• Airport Emergency Planning must be implemented similarly for off-airport aircraft accident and incident.
• Only a change of jurisdiction viz. * Within Airport Boundary – Airport Authority Overall In-Charge * Outside Airport Boundary – Pre- arranged Mutual Aid Agency
![Page 15: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

It is generally used in supporting & coordinating operations in accidents / incidents, unlawful seizure of aircraft, and bomb threat incidents.
Unit should have necessary equipment & personnel to communicate with the appropriate agencies involved in the emergency including the mobile command post.
![Page 39: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Command Post• Definition• The location at the scene of an
emergency where the on scene commander is located and where command, coordination, control and communications are established.
• Mobile command post is a point where cooperating agency heads assemble to receive and disseminate information and make decisions pertinent to rescue operations.
![Page 40: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Command Post
• Main features• It is mobile facility capable of being rapidly
deployed.• It serves as command, coordination and
communication centre.• It is operational during aircraft accident /
incident and it is correctly located with respect to wind and terrain condition.
![Page 41: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Command Post
• Requirement• In the event of any accident / incident a
designated recognizable and readily visible command post is a high priority item.
• It should be established as quickly as possible, preferably at the same time as the initiation of fire control and rescue activities.
![Page 42: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Command Post• Equipment and documents• It should contain the
necessary equipment to communicate with all agencies involved in the emergency.
• The communication and electronic devices should be checked each month.
• In order to eliminate confusion and missed transmission utilisation of head sets or sound observant partitions for each participants are essential.
![Page 43: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Command Post
• Maps, charts and other relevant equipment and information should be kept in the command post.
• It should be easily recognizable by provision of an checkered flag or a rotating light.
• Recommendation- It may be necessary to establish a sub command post and in this case one location should be designated as a “master” command post with adequate communications to the sub command post.
![Page 44: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Commander and Co-ordinator(s) for the plan
• Rescue & Fire Fighting personnel will be the first to arrive at the accident site and therefore for a certain periods of time their In-charge will be in command.
• On scene commander will arrive later and will assume over all command.
• The transition of authority and command responsibility needs to be established in emergency plan and exercised accordingly.
![Page 45: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Commander and Co-ordinator(s) for the plan
• Off – airport accidents are under the direction and control of the agency agreed upon in the mutual aid emergency agreement pre-arranged with the surrounding community.
![Page 46: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Grid Map• Definition• A map of an area overlaid with a
grid system of rectangular coordinates that are used to identify ground locations where no other land marks exist.
• Rendezvous point – A pre-arranged reference point that is road junction, cross road or other specified place, to which personnel / vehicle responding to an emergency situation initially proceed to receive directions to staging areas and/or the accident/incident site.
• Staging area – A pre-arranged strategically placed area where support response personnel/ vehicles and other equipment can be held in readiness for use during an emergency.
![Page 47: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Grid Map
• General• A detailed grid map of the airport and its
vicinity (with date of revision) should be provided.
• Similar small size maps should be available in the control tower and fire station, rescue and fire fighting vehicles and all other supporting vehicles responding to an emergency.
![Page 48: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Grid Map• It is preferable that two grid maps be provided.• One map should depict the confines of airport access
roads, location of water supplies, rendezvous points, staging area etc.
• The other map should include surrounding communities and depict appropriate medical facilities, access roads, rendezvous points etc. within a distance of approximately 8 kms from the center of the airport. The available medical facilities shown in the grid map should contain information on potential availability and medical specialities.
![Page 49: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Grid Map
• It is absolutely essential that where more than one grid map is used, the grids do not conflict.
• Use of different colored grid maps preclude misinterpretation of grid maps.
• It is essential that whenever the grid map is revised an updated copy shall be provided to all participating agency and old map destroyed.

Triage and Medical CareTriage- The sorting of casualties at
an emergency according to the nature and severity of their injuries.
Triage area- Location where triage operations are performed.
Triage tag- A tag used in the classification of casualties according to the nature and severity of their injuries.
Tagging- Method used to identify casualties as requiring immediate care (Priority I), delayed care (Priority II) minor care (Priority III), or as deceased.
![Page 54: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Triage and Medical Care
• In the aftermath of an aircraft accident many lives may be lost and many injuries aggravated if immediate medical attention is not provided by trained rescue personnel.
• Survivors should be triaged, given available emergency medical aid as required, and then promptly evacuated to appropriate medical facilities.
![Page 55: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Triage principles (All Emergencies)
• Casualties should be classified into four categories :
• Priority I: Immediate care• Priority II: Delayed care• Priority III: Minor care• Priority IV: Deceased
![Page 56: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Triage principles (All Emergencies)
• The first qualified medically trained person to arrive at the site must immediately begin initial triage.
• This person (s) will continue performing triage until relieved by other qualified officer.
• Victim should be moved from the triage area to the appropriate care holding areas before definitive treatment is rendered.
• Casualties should be stabilized at the care holding areas and then transported to an appropriate facility.
![Page 57: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Standardised casualty identification tags
• Casualty identification tags should be standardised through colour coding and symbols to make the tag as simple as possible.
• Tags help to expedite the treatment of mass casualties and permit more rapid evacuation of the injured to medical facilities.
![Page 58: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Standardised casualty identification tags
• Where tags are unavailable casualties may be classified by using roman numerals or adhesive tape or by placing marks directly on the forehead or on other exposed skin area to indicate priority. Where marking pens are unavailable lipstick can be used.
• Every effort should be made to ensure that priority I casualties are treated first and receive ambulance transportation priority when stabilized.
![Page 63: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Triage and medical care at aircraft accident site
• Triage accomplished in place
– Triage is most efficiently accomplished in place. However, the conditions at an accident scene may demand the immediate movement of casualties before triage can be safety accomplished. In that case, the casualties should be moved the shortest distance, well away from the danger
![Page 64: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Control of the flow of injured• The injured should pass through four areas which
should be carefully located and easily identified.• Collection area – (a) Location where initial collection of the seriously
injured from the debris is accomplished.(b) Custody of casualties is transferred from the rescue &
fire fighting personnel to medical services at this point.
(c) However, in most of the cases this transfer takes place at the triage area.
![Page 65: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Control of the flow of injured
• Triage areaa) Location where triage operations are
performed b) Area should be located at least 90 m up wind
of the accident site to avoid possible exposure to fire & smoke
c) If necessary, more than one triage area may be established.
![Page 66: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Control of the flow of injured• Care areaa) Location where first aid medical care is given to
injuredb) Initially it will be a single care area however,
subsequently this should be sub-divided into three sub areas according to three categories of injured i.e. Immediate Care (Priority I), Delayed Care (Priority II) and Minor Care (Priority III).
c) Care areas can be colour coded for identification purpose i.e. Red – Immediate, Yellow – Delayed and Green - Minor
![Page 67: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Control of the flow of injured
d) Use of coloured traffic cones, flags etc. may also be used
• Transportation areaa) Area where recording, dispatching & evacuation of
survivors is done.b) Area should be located between the care area and
the egress road.c) Normally one transportation area is established.d) If there is more than one transportation area it is
essential to have communications between them.
![Page 68: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Care of survivors• The Airports Authority is
responsible to :-a) Select the more suitable holding
area for the particular emergency.b) Provide for the transportation of
un-injured from the accident site to the designated holding area.
c) Arrange for doctor(s), nurse(s) or team(s) qualified in first aid to examine and treat the passengers.
d) Furnish a full passenger & crew manifest for accountability purposes.

Care of survivors
e) Interview the un-injured and record their names, addresses, phone numbers and where they can be reached for the next 72 hours.
f) Notify relatives or next of kin where deemed necessary
g) Coordinate efforts with the designated international relief agency (Red Cross).
h) Prevent interference by un-authorised persons or those not officially connected with the operation in progress.

verify the operability of all radio and telephone networks.
• A complete and current list of interagency telephone numbers should be verified monthly to ensure they are correct.
• Updated list should be distributed to all concerned on continual basis.
![Page 82: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
COORDINATION
• Communication means are tools for achieving good coordination
• Communication means do not guarantee by themselves a good coordination between the various agencies involved. They have to be properly used
![Page 83: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
COORDINATION
• Definition:– « Ordering of things or
various activities in order to achieve predefined objectives »
• In AEP the objectives are:– To save lifes– Minimize the impact on
airport operations– Minimize material lost
![Page 84: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
COORDINATION
• AEP shall be known & understood by all participating agencies
• Agencies shall agree on roles & responsibilities• Understand inter-relations between each of
them• Full Scale etc. shall be conducted, a higher
level of coordination shall thus be achieved
![Page 85: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
COORDINATION
• Coordination between the airport operator, the police, the ambulance, the hospitals, the airline etc. is one of the essential key to achieve the objectives of saving lifes, to maintain airport operational capability and to minimize material lost
![Page 86: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• Definition-• A test of emergency plan and review of results
in order to review the effectiveness of the plan• Assembling and utilization of all the resources
that would be available and used in a real emergency.
![Page 87: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• Purpose-• In order to test the Airport Emergency Plan , a
full scale mock-up exercise of aircraft accident on airport needs to be carried out at airport to ensure the adequacy of:a. response of all personnel involved;
b. emergency plan and procedures; and c. emergency equipment and communications.
![Page 88: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• Test should correct as many deficiencies as possible .• Personnel and agencies from airport gets an
opportunity to know each other and their role in the emergency plan.
• Outside agencies get opportunity to meet airport personnel, familiarization with airport facilities, resources, traffic pattern, identifiable (restricted/prohibited) hazard areas.
![Page 89: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• Testing is crucial for determining where serious gaps exist.
• Individual misconceptions / misunderstanding.• Procedure seems workable on paper but may
not work in practice.
![Page 90: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• As per ICAO – Exercise be held - Day light - Twilight - Darkness & - Various conditions of weather/visibility.
![Page 91: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• Types of Emergency Exercises & Schedule• There are three methods :-1) Full scale exercises – at least once every two years2) Partial exercises – at least once each year that a full
scale exercise is not held 3) Table top exercises – at least once each six months,
except during that six months period when a full scale exercise is held
![Page 92: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
Table top exercise• Simplest type of drill to stage• Only requires a meeting room, large scale grid
map of airport and senior representatives of each participating agencies in attendance
• It is economical as can be conducted without disruption of services and without any expense
![Page 93: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• It may be held as a coordination exercise prior to full scale exercise
• Probable accident site is selected• Each participating agency describes actions their unit
would take to respond• Exercise quickly reveal operational problems, such as
conflicting communications frequencies, lack of equipment, confusing terminology and areas of jurisdiction
![Page 94: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
Partial emergency exercise• It is also economical because scope is limited and can
be repeated as often as required in order to maintain a high standard of proficiency.
• Restricted one unit / agency / combination of both with the objective to train new personnel, evaluate new equipment / techniques and to comply with mandatory training requirements.
![Page 95: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
Full scale exercises• The first step in planning full scale emergency
exercises is to have the support of all airport and community authorities concern.
• The first and most basic step is to decide exactly what should be achieved thus aim of exercise, formulation of scenario assigning of task is to be decided.
![Page 96: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• Coordination meeting at least 120 days prior to the schedule emergency exercise should be planned and should be attended by all key supervisory personnel of principle participating agencies.
• In the said meeting, the aims of the exercise should be outlines, a scenario formulated, work tasks assigned and duties of all agencies and personnel defined.
![Page 97: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Airport Emergency Exercises
• In preparing the scenario, the use of real name of aircraft operators and types of aircraft should be avoided to prevent any possible embarrassment to civil aviation companies or agencies.
• To obtain maximum benefit from a full scale emergency exercise, it is important to review the entire proceedings.
• A observer critique team should be organised, comprised of members who are familiar with mass casualty accident proceedings.
![Page 98: AEP](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020111/55d1688bbb61ebdd598b472b/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Airport Emergency ExercisesA team Chairman should be appointed and should be
present at all meetings.Each member of the critique team should observe
the entire exercise and complete the appropriate emergency drill critique forms.
As soon as convenient after the exercise (not later than 7 days), critique meeting should be held so members of the team can present their observations & recommendations for improvement of the Airport Emergency Plan & Procedures.
