PART 1 ‐ INTRODUCTION

General

101. The NSW State Aviation Emergency Sub Plan details the arrangements for control and co‐ordination of the response to an aviation emergency. The arrangements are to apply if the emergency occurs anywhere in New South Wales, including State Waters and Airports.

102. This plan is a sub plan to the NSW State Disaster Plan (Displan). The arrangements under this plan are consistent with the Displan (and its subservient plans) as well as the Australian Government Aviation Disaster Response Plan.

103. This plan should be read in conjunction with the current version of the ATSB/ADF publication “Civil and Military Aircraft Accident Procedures for Police Officers and Emergency Services Personnel”.

Aim 104. To detail the special arrangements for the control and co‐ordination of the response to

aviation emergencies within the boundaries of New South Wales (including New South Wales waters).

Scope

105. This plan details the arrangements for control and co‐ordination of the response to aviation emergencies. The arrangements in this plan are designed to deal with an aviation incident which, escalates into an "emergency" as defined by the State Emergency and Rescue Management Act, 1989 (that is, one which requires a significant and co‐ordinated response).

106. Aviation incidents, which are within the capability and scope of local resources to manage, are to be dealt with in accordance with local plans and arrangements.

Planning Assumptions

107. Each agency, with a statutory role, has in place an appropriate supporting plan/operational procedures which detail that agency's response in accordance with this plan.

108. Airports, certified by CASA, have developed and maintain an Airport Emergency Plan (AEP). An AEP has the status of a Sub plan to the Local/District Displan.

109. Special planning requirements for non‐certified airport are detailed in either the appropriate Local Displan or, where identified as appropriate in the local emergency risk management study as a separate sub plan to the Local Displan.

District Level Arrangements 110. It is not necessary for separate District Aviation Emergency Sub plans to be developed, as

the principles detailed in this plan, and the roles and responsibilities of the responding agencies, do not change at this level. District Displans provide the necessary control and co‐ordination arrangements required whilst the occurrence remains a District Level operation.


Local Level Arrangements

111. There is no requirement for Local Aviation Emergency Sub Plans. Where local Airports have specific Airport Emergency Plans then these plans have the status of a sub plan to the Local Displan and arrangements should be made to ensure their integration into the Local Displan.

112. Where an airport without an AEP is located in a local area, the Local Displan should contain sufficient detail to respond to a local emergency.


PART 2 ‐ ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Introduction 201. The following general roles and responsibilities of each agency, irrespective of the location

of the aviation emergency, are detailed in this section for clarification, or are additional to those contained in Displan.

emergencies will be managed at the lowest effective level by the relevant EOCON. Role of Emergency Operations Centres 303. The Emergency Operations Centre maintains situational awareness of actual or potential

emergency events on behalf of the Emergency Operations Controller at the determined level. The primary responsibilities of an EOC during an aviation emergency are to :

• Gain and maintain situational awareness and ensure the relevant stakeholders are

appropriately advised and participants / agencies are provided with relevant information; • Assess the emergency and activate key resources and capabilities at the direction of the

EOCON; • Effectively monitor, support or control the response as per legislation at the direction of

the EOCON. • Liaise with the SERCON regarding entry into recovery phase.


PART 4 ‐ ADMINISTRATION

Logistics 401. Where practicable, the normal procedures within the respective agencies are to be used

for the acquisition and supply of goods and services. If a requirement for goods and services is beyond the resources of State Controllers/Coordinators, the matter is to be referred to the State Emergency Operations Centre in accordance with the arrangements in Displan.

Review 402. A review of this plan is to be considered:

• following mobilisation of the plan as the result of an aviation emergency under any of the circumstances covered in the plan;

• following an exercise designed to practice or test any aspects of the plan; • when the roles and responsibilities of any Agency involved in the plan are changed; or • every five years.

Training and Testing 403. Each agency is responsible for the training of its own personnel to perform the roles and

responsibilities assigned in this plan. 404. SEOCON is responsible for the conduct of exercises to practise, or test all or part of the

procedures and arrangements in this plan, at least every two years.


ANNEX A – AIR ALERT LEVELS

* At an unmanned airport a response consistent with the local Airport Emergency Plan.

Alert Level Description Response Required Local Standby A condition declared by Airservices Australia ATC when

an aircraft approaching the airport is known or suspected to have developed some defect but the trouble is not such as would normally involve any serious difficulty in effecting a safe landing.

Off‐airport emergency services generally would not be required to attend.*

Full Emergency (Level 1 – Light Aircraft) Is the condition declared when an aircraft (with up to 18 seats) approaching the airport is, or is suspected to be in such trouble that there is a danger of an accident.

Some off‐airport emergency services may be required.

Full Emergency (Level 2 – Medium Aircraft) Is the condition declared when it is known that an aircraft (may have up to 215 seats), approaching the airport is, or is suspected to be in such trouble that there is a danger of an accident.

Off‐airport emergency services are required. Consideration to be given to opening EOC

Full Emergency (Level 3 – Heavy Aircraft) Is the condition declared when it is known that an aircraft (may have up to 560 seats), approaching the airport is, or is suspected to be in such trouble that there is a danger of an accident.

Off‐airport emergency services are required. Consideration to be given to opening EOC


ANNEX B – FRAMEWORK FOR ACCIDENT SITE LAYOUT


ANNEX C – OPERATIONS SUPPORT BASE

C1. When an accident occurs in a remote area, an Operations Support Base should be

established, close to the accident area, to ensure the operation receives adequate personnel, administrative and logistic support. When established, the Operations Support Base is the point of entry into, and exit from, the emergency site. Ideally it should have all weather facilities and should contain:

a. a Base Headquarters ; b. first line stores ; c. accommodation and welfare facilities for personnel; d. hard standing for vehicles ; e. working space ; and f. internet connectivity.

C2. Depending on the location and duration of the emergency the Operations Support

Base may also contain:

a. an Assembly Area, for the marshalling of the various resources, prior to deployment into the emergency site under control ;

b. transport transhipment facilities ; c. helipad/landing strip ; d. temporary morgue ; e. casualty clearing station ; f. Information Centre ( media control ) ; and g. fuel storage and distribution area ;

C3. An Operations Support Base Controller, appointed by the Site Controller, is

responsible for:

a. maintaining close contact with the Site Control Point ; b. overall management and control of the Operations Support Base ; and c. controlling movement in and out of the emergency area where

appropriate ; and d. co‐ordinating the supply of resources requested by the Site Controller.


ANNEX D – SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEFENCE FORCE AIRCRAFT

D1. The arrangements provide that where an aircraft accident results in an "emergency"

ASA transfers the overall co‐ordination responsibility to the appropriate Emergency Operations Controller. These arrangements also provide for the transfer of the overall co‐ordination responsibility, by mutual agreement, if the nature of a particular SAR operation requires such a course of action to be taken.

D2. Where the aviation emergency involves military aircraft and/or facilities the

Commonwealth Government, through the Australian Defence Force (ADF), is responsible for the provision of SAR for all ADF and visiting military ships, personnel and aircraft.

This responsibility is exercised through headquarters Joint Operations Command (HQJOC) down to the respective components of the ADF; Maritime (Fleet Headquarters – FHQ), Land (Forces Command – FORCOMD) and Air (Air and Space Operations Centre – AOC) respectively. This responsibility is exercised as follows:

• RAAF is responsible for all ADF (including all Army and land based Navy

helicopters) and visiting military aircraft, other than ship borne aircraft. • RAN is responsible for ship‐borne aircraft.

D3. Australian Defence Force (ADF) Commanders always retain control of incidents

involving their own forces. However, ADF commanders may request assistance from the State for resources and support in accordance with this plan. If the incident escalates to an emergency outside of a Defence Force facility the appropriate Emergency Operations Controller assumes overall control.

D4. The Emergency Operations Controller, and all personnel involved in this phase,

should be made aware that civilian and military aircraft may be carrying assorted hazardous material, and that unless attempting to save life or minimise damage to property, personnel should remain well clear of all wreckage.

D5. In the case of a service aircraft or facilities, the responsibility for co‐ordination of the

response and recovery phase is the responsibility of the appropriate service unless:‐ • the accident results in an "emergency" off a Defence Force facility, and does

not require special attention due to the aircraft armaments or security requirements, then the appropriate Emergency Operations Controller assumes control; or

• the responsible Defence Force Commander transfers the responsibility to the appropriate Emergency Operations Controller.

D6. Notwithstanding, because service aircraft accidents frequently occur at some

location remote from military facilities, the Local Emergency Operations Controller may be required to provide response actions, similar to those which would be taken after a civilian aircraft accident.
