    Study Notes

    Initial Actions for Aircraft Emergency Incidents

    • Activation of an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) prompts the ECC to contact the MCPD SAR Coordinator for further action.
    • If ELT is activated but no aircraft is reported down, dispatched units must respond to the location and tactically stage until the ELT can be tracked.
    • Units with ELT tracking devices are coordinated by ECC to assist in locating the activated signal.

    Response Procedures for On- and Off-Airport Incidents

    • The first arriving Primary Unit Officer must provide an Initial On-Scene Report (IOSR) detailing:

      • Confirmed incident location
      • Size and number of aircraft involved
      • Nature of emergency
      • Additional resources needed
      • Tail or unique aircraft identifiers

    • For Off-Airport Incidents:

      • Respond to the reported location and consider staging additional units until the scene is confirmed.

    Key Actions by First Arriving Officer

    • Consider using a secure talk group for communication.
    • Contact airport/airpark manager if possible for on-airport incidents.
    • Gather and report:
      • Status of occupants onboard
      • Condition of aircraft (intact or in pieces)
      • Size and hazards of debris field
      • Identifying numbers on the aircraft
      • Status of runway conditions

    Objectives for Aircraft Emergencies

    • Follow the ACRE mnemonic to address four standard objectives:
      • Assess: Gather situational awareness to determine risks and initial objectives.
      • Control: Manage and eliminate hazards linked to the incident.
      • Rescue: Facilitate access for disentanglement and extrication of victims; support self-extrication until help arrives.
      • Evacuate: Assist all affected individuals to safety and start triaging the injured.

    Command and Tactical Assessment

    • The first arriving unit officer establishes command and creates an action plan based on the incident scenario.
    • Ongoing risk assessment is vital to tailor strategies effectively to the situation.

    Additional Operational Steps

    • Contact Potomac TRACON through ECC for incident coordination.
    • Isolate the crash site, including the debris field.
    • Shut down the runway if the incident occurs on airport grounds, coordinating with the airport manager and notifying Potomac TRACON.
    • Establish a water supply and consider requesting all-wheel drive engines and utility vehicles (UTVs) for access.
    • Deploy fire attack lines as necessary.

    Situational Update Report (SUR)

    • The SUR compiles critical information:
      • Location of the incident
      • Condition of the aircraft
      • Actions taken or planned
      • Command type and resource needs

    Mode of Attack

    • The Primary Unit Officer determines the initial mode of attack, focusing primarily on identifying victims with a survivability profile.

    Initial Actions for Aircraft Emergency Incidents

    • Activation of an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) prompts the ECC to contact the MCPD SAR Coordinator for further action.
    • If ELT is activated but no aircraft is reported down, dispatched units must respond to the location and tactically stage until the ELT can be tracked.
    • Units with ELT tracking devices are coordinated by ECC to assist in locating the activated signal.
