Introduction to Emergency Management at Airports
Every airport needs to have in place an emergency response plan, in order to be prepared when worst scenario happens: an aircraft incident at or in the vicinity of an airport. This involves dealing with unforeseen events, contingencies and infectious diseases at an airport as well as business continuity. Staff need to be adequately trained to react on incidents. This interactive course will give an introduction on how to make an airport emergency risk assessment. Risks will jointly be prioritized and mitigation actions developed until the risk can be accepted.
Attending this course will provide participants with a structural and practical insight in emergency management. Basics of ICAO Annex 14 and EASA requirements will be taught before deepening the knowledge through the presentation of case studies. Practical exercises assist attendees to understand how emergency situations are being managed and which role each stakeholder plays in such scenarios: who is involved, which external stakeholders are needed or what role can an airport play in crisis situations. The results of practical table top exercises will be evaluated and can later assist planning at their own organisation.
This course targets all airport stakeholders who are involved in Emergency Planning and Management within their organizations (airport operators, ATC, RFFS, planners, inspectors) but also personnel of oversight authorities.

Caroline Schlemmer is a consultant in airsight’s “Airport Safety & Operations” department. She works on safety assessments, SMS implementation and projects related to the development of airport Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). Further, Caroline is an instructor for the Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation training course.
She completed her master’s degree at the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) in 2016, after conducting her thesis at the University of Washington, Seattle. Afterwards she started working as a lecturer and research assistant at the Chair of Flight Mechanics, Flight Control and Aeroelasticity of TU Berlin. Her master’s thesis on modelling and simulating longitudinal control surfaces of a flexible aircraft formed the way for her further research on aeroservoelasticity. She presented her research results on national and international conferences and in the corresponding papers. As a university lecturer for flight mechanics, she gained comprehensive experience in teaching and sharing her knowledge in German and English.
For airsight, she has participated in safety assessments related to non-compliant airfield requirements like non-compliant slopes. She also supported case studies assessing the feasibility of constructions sites in the vicinity of active runways. More recently, Caroline is involved in a jetblast study aiming to ensure accurate data through on-site measurements and the definition of mitigation measures in the post-processing phase.
