Emergency Procedures - Ground Control
In an emergency, the ground controller must obtain the same information as the the local controller. During the emergency, ground shall coordinate the emergency information with crash (and flight data)
Local Controller - “EMERGENCY”
Aircraft - “Provides emergency information”
Ground control will copy emergency information verbatim
“Crash, emergency, aircraft ID, type, nature of emergency, landing surface, any other pertinent information”
Annotate all times, ex: time emergency declared, time siren rung, time aircraft lands, etc.
Emergency Procedures - Local Control
Aircraft - “EMERGENCY”
Local Controller to aircraft - “Go ahead”
Aircraft - “Provides emergency information”
Local Control will copy emergency information verbatim, deconflict traffic, and issue landing clearance.
Ring siren after Ground is finished on Crash phone.
Annotate all times, ex: time emergency declared, time siren rung, time aircraft lands, etc.
