AVIATION
Emergency and Crisis Management
Drills and Crash exercises: ICAO and FAA regulations require that airports conduct a full-scale exercise every three years to rehearse with all the entities that would be involved in an actual emergency. The purpose of the exercise is to evaluate the preparedness and capabilities of the airport, its tenants, and local response agencies.
In addition, annual crash exercise/drill is conducted according to aerodrome licensing requirements and a large airport will conduct over 100 + drills, exercises, and training webinars covering operational crisis and emergency response scenarios. Representative areas that can be covered may include equipment malfunctions, system failures, severe weather, local disruptions like public unrest, or health incidents like Covid-19 issues. A couple was recently offloaded in the US for trying to fly while Covid positive.
Inspections under Annex14 and Part 139
Inspections are a mandatory requirement and strict compliances must be ensured. These fall under FAA Part 139 or ICAO Annex 14 depending on the affiliation. The Regulatory Authority regularly audits all functions to ensure compliance.
We build solutions to capture the underlying data that goes into the compliance requirement. From Wildlife Management, managing runway lights or mowing, we configure solutions so that the respective department receives real-time information on the status of the activity under them and the airport as a whole gets a single database where all the data required for successful compliance and inspection is captured. This makes the Airport safer and ensures successful audits.
