Aviation Incident Response Training Slide2
What is an AIRE?
A focused training activity that places the participants in a simulated situation requiring them to function in the capacity that would be expected of them in a real aircraft mishap or accident.Slide3
Purpose of the Exercise
Give personnel the opportunity to practice their roles and gain experienceImprove the organization’s system for responding to an incidentExercise internal and external coordination often required in response to an incidentSlide4
Purpose of the Exercise?
Exercise and identify areas for improvement in the Unit’s Aviation Mishap Response Plan.Focus on identifying and eliminating response problems before an actual incident.Research shows that people generally respond to an emergency in the way they have trained. Slide5
What are we doing today?
Internal aviation mishap response drill to support the agency.Series of simulated communications delivered via exercise messages.Exercise your response as you would in the event of actual incident.Slide6
After the Drill
Conduct After Action Review.If necessary, update or revise local Aviation Mishap Response Plan.Track completion of the exercise.As a simulation incident in WildCad
and/orSend completed evaluation to :
Assistant Director – Aviation, AK/PNW. Slide7
What does success look like?
Short TermLocating and eliminating problems before an actual aviation mishap occurs.Taking corrective actions based on drill.Long TermEvaluate response guide standardization.
Evaluate need for response guide revision.Evaluate interagency (FS, DOI, State) response protocols within existing aviation mishap response guides.Slide8

AIRE – SIMMULATION 1
NarrativeAn exclusive-use helicopter from Santa Fe, New Mexico is stationed in your dispatch response area. They have been here on severity for over three-weeks assisting with local initial attack (IA). At your 0800 morning dispatch meeting you are told the R-3 IA helicopter pilot needs a proficiency flight as she has not done bucket or longline work over the past 17 days. At the briefing the Center Manager states that he talked with the local Helibase Manager and Forest Aviation Officer; they both approved the mission and said the Helicopter can use _____________________Lake/River but make sure a dip-site manager is assigned as that area can be busy this time of year. Slide10

At 1325 hours, 17SIM Chase arrives at ______________________Lake/River. Their communication is weak and you recommend they switch to another frequency. Slide14

AIRE – SIMMULATION 1
At 1340 hours, a local land owner and friend of yours calls to let you know he saw a helicopter crash on his land.He thinks the helicopter crashed by his cattle pond. He said it happened 15 minutes or so ago and that he was still heading there on his ATV.Slide16

Set-Up ConsiderationsSet-up and utilize FM handhelds (direct channels, such as tac/project).Set-up and utilize actual phones. Determine if you want to have dispatchers call actual personnel listed in their response guide (fire staff, duty officer, line officer), or if you will play those roles with numbers/phones available near the dispatch office.Ensure you take notes during the simulation. The simulation mishap response guide is provided in this package and has note blocks, but use whatever works for you.
Inform others if you utilize actual radio communications for the sim (tac- channels). A good practice is to state on the frequency to be used: “Simulation only” prior-to and 1-2
times during. At the end state “end-simulation”.Slide19
AIRE - CADRE SECTION
Learning EnvironmentKnow your audience, run the simulation with that in mind (simple/complex)During simulations it’s not uncommon to see students get stressed and nervous. “Pause-simulation” or “hold simulation” for a teaching moment.
Ensure the after-action-review (AAR) encourages two-way conversations (dispatcher's and cadre) Was this training useful to the dispatcher(s)? Get their feedback.
Wrap-up - End-State
If an aviation incident happened tomorrow, would the dispatch center handle it well?Does the dispatch center have a current (2107) Aviation Mishap Response Guide?Provide a copy of the plan to the UAO AIRE Task Group.
Is there an immediate need to provide the dispatch center additional guidance or training regarding mishap response?
