  1. ICS Concepts and Principles UNIT 3 Type 1 Helicopter Type 2 Helicopter Type 3 Helicopter Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles

  2. Unit 3 - Objectives Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Describe the application of the Incident Command System (ICS) as it pertains to the Law Enforcement helicopter crewmember. Describe the ICS types of helicopters and the minimum National Standards for each type.

  3. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles ICS was developed to manage incidents and the resources used on the incident. Incident resources are part of one of the four management sections; Planning, Operations, Logistics, and Finance/Administration.

  4. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles As Law Enforcement helicopter crewmember you will be part of the Air Operations Branch a branch of the Operations Section within the ICS organization.

  5. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles

  6. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles ICS positions related to your daily operations: IC oversees all incident activity. Air Operations Branch Director (AOBD) oversees all air operations Air Support Group Supervisor (ASGS) oversees air support personnel and needs

  7. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles ICS positions related to your daily operations: • Helibase manager • Helispot manager • Deck • Loadmaster – personnel • Loadmaster – cargo • Crash rescue supervisor • Parking tender

  9. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles ICS positions related to your daily operation ATGS is responsible for tactical coordination of all aircraft. LE helicopter crewmember coordinates helicopter operations. ATCO coordinates air tanker (fixed wing) operations. DIVS coordinates aerial tactical request for their division.

  11. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles The helibase or helispot manager may directly or indirectly supervise the helicopter crewmember.

  12. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Follow the Chain of Command The ICS is a series of management positions in order of authority. Following the chain of command is simplified.

  13. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Follow the Chain of Command The chain of command refers to the orderly line of authority within the ranks of the incident management organization. Assignments and resource request occur only with the person directly above or below them in the organization.

  14. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Follow the Chain of Command It is very important to follow the established chain of command anytime you have a question or concern to get it resolved.

  15. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Span of Control – Key Points Span of control is key to effective and efficient incident management. Maintaining an effective span of control is important because safety and accountability are a priority.

  16. ICS Concepts and Principles Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Span of Control – Key Points Within ICS, the span of control for any incident management supervisor should range from three to seven subordinates with five being the optimum.

  17. ICS Terminology Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles ICS establishes common terminology that allows diverse incident management and support entities to work together across a wide variety of incident management functions and hazard scenarios.

  18. ICS Terminology Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Organizational Functions – Major functions and functional units with domestic incident management responsibilities are named and defined. Terminology for the organizational elements involved is standard and consistent.

  19. ICS Terminology Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Incident Facilities – Common terminology is used to designate the facilities in the vicinity of the incident area that will be used in the course of incident management activities.

  20. ICS Terminology Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Resource Descriptions – Major resources—including personnel, facilities, and major equipment and supply items—used to support incident management activities are given common names and are "typed" with respect to their capabilities, to help avoid confusion and to enhance interoperability.

  21. ICS Terminology Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Position Titles – At each level within the ICS organization, individuals with primary responsibility have distinct titles. Titles provide a common standard for all users, and also make it easier to fill ICS positions with qualified personnel.

  22. ICS Helicopter Typing Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles ICS developed a classification to distinguish the different types, sizes, and capabilities of helicopters. Helicopters were classified as “Type” along with a number to distinguish what category an aircraft fits in based on capabilities. Typically, a Type 1 is the largest category.

  23. ICS Helicopter Typing Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Typing of helicopters took the guess work out of what kind of helicopter to order or what type to expect. This simplified the entire air operation organization.

  25. ICS Helicopter Typing Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles A helicopter may have twelve passenger seats, but that does not mean it can lift that much weight. Density altitude and other environmental factors can affect payload. Density altitude will be covered in unit 5.

  26. ICS Helicopter Typing Unit 3 ICS Concepts and Principles Different models within the same series of helicopter may look the same, but newer models generally have increased performance. Example: Bell 206 “Long Ranger” series (L-1, L-3, L-4). The L-1, L-3 and L-4 look the same but the L-4 has a bigger engine and better performance.
