  1. Small Aircraft/Helicopter Accident Scene Hazards First Responder Awareness Training for New Technologies Airport Rescue Firefighters Working Group Bob Stegeman FAA Structures Engineer August 30, 2009

  2. Goal: • To develop a universal training document/medium , targeted towards first responders, that advises how to safely approach and work around an accident aircraft.

  3. Background • 2001 accident in Springfield, MO recognizing poor markings and several subsequent accidents without injuries from undeployed Ballistic Parachute System • FAA and NTSB safety recommendations • Development of installation/placard standards (ASTM F 2616-06) including input from firefighting groups for LSAs • Later input gathered from firefighting groups regarding placarding vs. training

  4. Challenges to Development • Define what we need in a document or media and what it should look like • Find training avenues open for this in the first responder community • Needed to understand how the current system filters information down to local organizations. • Document needs different versions with varying levels of detail. • Needs to reach out to a wide range of organizations ex. from: ARFF to volunteer firefighters • How will first responders incorporate this?

  5. Our Current Solution • Needs • Training that was readily/widely available • Training that was concise • Training that can stand alone • Articulate software

  6. Steps Taken…… • Module 1 • Accident Aircraft Response Awareness:Systems and Material Hazards • Module 2 • Accident Aircraft Response Awareness : Aircraft Types & Mission Specific Threats • Module 3 • Accident Aircraft Response Operations: Command, Control and Recovery • Module 4 • Accident Aircraft Response Technical Operations : Ballistic Parachute System Familiarization • Module 5 • Accident Aircraft Response Awareness:Systems and Material Hazards For Rescue

  7. Module 1 Accident Aircraft Response Awareness:Systems and Material Hazards • For Firefighters/EMTs and those more likely to work at an accident site • Includes SCBA and cutting information • Covers potential accident site hazards • Covers site protocol with respect to the subsequent investigation

  8. Module 2Accident Aircraft Response Awareness : Aircraft Types & Mission Specific Threats • General familiarization on small aircraft and helicopter types • General familiarization about mission and associated hazards • Covers potential accident site hazards

  9. Module 3Accident Aircraft Response Operations: Command, Control and Recovery • For Incident Commanders and law enforcement • Explains accident protocol, accident investigation considerations and scene security

  10. Module 4Accident Aircraft Response Technical Operations : Ballistic Parachute System Familiarization • Technical information on BPS • Explains system operation • Provides base knowledge about how manufacturers disable a system • YOU STILL MUST CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER PRIOR TO DISABLING

  11. Module 5Accident Aircraft Response Awareness:Systems and Material Hazards For Rescue • For those other than Firefighters/EMTs • Very similar to Module 1 however doesn’t include SCBA and cutting information • Covers potential accident site hazards • Covers site protocol with respect to the subsequent investigation

  12. Website • FAA web www.faa.gov/aircraft/safety • Will develop online course format for training on FAA’s FAASTeam website • May develop additional module that will cover operational safety around helicopters

  13. Discussion……
