Aircraft Incident Response Plan

Aircraft Operator / Air Carrier etc.

INTRODUCTION

Aircraft Operators / Air Carriers (airlines and similar) are generally required to plan for and respond to aircraft accidents and incidents – as typically related to any / all of the appropriate and applicable parts, sections, clauses etc. of (the list is not exhaustive):

• ICAO Annexes and similar requirements
• Statutory, Regulatory and similar requirements
• (IATA’s) IOSA, ISSA etc. audit requirements
• IS-BAO for business aviation requirements
• Aircraft Operators’ own requirements
• Airport Operators’ requirements (e.g. aircraft recovery / removal / salvage)
• Best Practice
• Anything else considered appropriate

In contrast to the ‘catastrophic aircraft accident’ type situation, aircraft related incidents (see sidebar) are typically straightforward to deal with – via use of an appropriate & relatively simple ‘Aircraft Incident Response Plan – IRP‘, typically being around 5 to 10% the size / complexity of a corresponding catastrophic aircraft accident plan (ERP)

Most IRPs can be activated / operated via normal and / or minimal, additional resources

Once completed, the IRP should be regularly reviewed and maintained, and those required to use it trained (initial and recurrent) and exercised (tested) on a regular basis. Associated reports and records should be maintained and retained
