Introductory Note. Aerodrome emergency planning is the process of preparing an aerodrome to cope with an
emergency occurring at the aerodrome or in its vicinity. The objective of aerodrome emergency
planning is to minimize the effects of an emergency, particularly in respect of saving lives and
maintaining aircraft operations. The aerodrome emergency plan sets forth the procedures for
coordinating the response of different aerodrome agencies (or services) and of those agencies in
the surrounding community that could be of assistance in responding to the emergency. Guidance
material to assist the appropriate authority in establishing aerodrome emergency planning is given
in the Airport Services Manual (Doc 9137), Part 7.
9.1.1 An aerodrome emergency plan shall be established at an aerodrome, commensurate with the
aircraft operations and other activities conducted at the aerodrome (STD).
9.1.2 The aerodrome emergency plan shall provide for the coordination of the actions to be taken in
an emergency occurring at an aerodrome or in its vicinity (STD).
Note 1. Examples of emergencies are: aircraft emergencies, sabotage including bomb threats, unlawfully
seized aircraft, dangerous goods occurrences, building fires, natural disaster and public health
emergencies.
......
9.1.3 The plan shall coordinate the response or participation of all existing agencies, which, in the
opinion of the appropriate authority, could be of assistance in responding to an emergency
(STD).
Note 1. Examples of agencies are:

on the aerodrome: air traffic control units, rescue and firefighting services, aerodrome administration,
medical and ambulance services, aircraft operators, security services, and police; off the
aerodrome: fire departments, police, health authorities (including medical, ambulance, hospital
and public health services), military, and harbour patrol or coast guard.
......
9.1.4 Recommendation.— The plan should provide for cooperation and coordination with the
rescue coordination centre, as necessary.
9.1.5 Recommendation.— The aerodrome emergency plan document should include at least the

CHAPTER 15. PROCEDURES RELATED TO EMERGENCIES, COMMUNICATION

FAILURE AND CONTINGENCIES
15.1 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
15.1.1 General
15.1.1.1 The various circumstances surrounding each emergency situation preclude the
establishment of exact detailed procedures to be followed. The procedures outlined herein
are intended as a general guide to air traffic services personnel. Air traffic control units
shall maintain full and complete coordination, and personnel shall use their best judgement
in handling emergency situations (STD).
Note 1. Additional procedures to be applied in relation to emergencies and contingencies while using an
ATS surveillance system are contained in Chapter 8, 8.8.1.
Note 2. If the pilot of an aircraft encountering a state of emergency has previously been directed by ATC
to select a specific transponder code and/or a specific ADS-B emergency mode, that code and/or
mode will normally be maintained unless, in special circumstances, the pilot has decided or has
been advised otherwise. Where ATC has not requested a code or emergency mode to be set, the
pilot will set the transponder to Mode A Code 7700 and/or the appropriate ADS-B emergency
mode.
Note 3. Some aircraft equipped with first generation ADS-B avionics have the capability to transmit a
general emergency alert only, regardless of the code selected by the pilot.
Note 4. Some aircraft equipped with first generation ADS-B avionics do not have the capability of
squawking IDENT while the emergency and/or urgency mode is selected.

15.1.1.2 When an emergency is declared by an aircraft, the ATS unit should take appropriate and
relevant action as follows:
a) unless clearly stated by the flight crew or otherwise known, take all necessary steps to
ascertain aircraft identification and type, the type of emergency, the intentions of the
flight crew as well as the position and level of the aircraft;
b) decide upon the most appropriate type of assistance which can be rendered;
c) enlist the aid of any other ATS unit or other services which may be able to provide
assistance to the aircraft;
d) provide the flight crew with any information requested as well as any additional relevant
information, such as details on suitable aerodromes, minimum safe altitudes, weather
information;
e) obtain from the operator or the flight crew such of the following information as may be
relevant: number of persons on board, amount of fuel remaining, possible presence of
hazardous materials and the nature thereof; and
f) notify the appropriate ATS units and authorities as specified in local instructions.
15.1.1.3 Changes of radio frequency and SSR code should be avoided if possible and should
normally be made only when or if an improved service can be provided to the aircraft
concerned. Manoeuvring instructions to an aircraft experiencing engine failure should be
limited to a minimum. When appropriate, other aircraft operating in the vicinity of the
aircraft in emergency should be advised of the circumstances.
Note. Requests to the flight crew for the information contained in 15.1.1.2 e) will be made only if the
information is not available from the operator or from other sources and will be limited to essential
information.
15.1.2 Priority
An aircraft known or believed to be in a state of emergency, including being subjected to
unlawful interference shall be given priority over other aircraft (STD).
15.1.3 Unlawful interference and aircraft bomb threat
15.1.3.1 Air traffic services personnel shall be prepared to recognize any indication of the
occurrence of unlawful interference with an aircraft (STD).
15.1.3.2 Whenever unlawful interference with an aircraft is suspected, and where automatic
distinct display of SSR Mode A Code 7500 and Code 7700 is not provided, the controller
shall attempt to verify any suspicion by setting the SSR decoder to Mode A Code 7500 and
thereafter to Code 7700. (STD).
Note. An aircraft equipped with an SSR transponder is expected to operate the transponder on Mode A
Code 7500 to indicate specifically that it is the subject of unlawful interference. The aircraft may
operate the transponder on Mode A Code 7700, to indicate that it is threatened by grave and
imminent danger and requires immediate assistance. An aircraft equipped with other surveillance
system transmitters, including ADS-B and ADS-C, might send the emergency and/or urgency signal
by all of the available means.

15.1.3.3 Whenever unlawful interference with an aircraft is known or suspected or a bomb threat
warning has been received, ATS units shall promptly attend to requests by, or to
anticipated needs of, the aircraft, including requests for relevant information relating to air
navigation facilities, procedures and services along the route of flight and at any aerodrome
of intended landing, and shall take such action as is necessary to expedite the conduct of all
phases of the flight (STD).
15.1.3.3.1 ATS units shall also:
a) transmit, and continue to transmit, information pertinent to the safe conduct of the flight,
without expecting a reply from the aircraft;
b) monitor and plot the progress of the flight with the means available, and coordinate transfer of
control with adjacent ATS units without requiring transmissions or other responses from
the aircraft, unless communication with the aircraft remains normal;
c) inform, and continue to keep informed, appropriate ATS units, including those in adjacent
FIRs, which may be concerned with the progress of the flight;
Note. In applying this provision, account must be taken of all the factors which may affect the progress of
the flight, including fuel endurance and the possibility of sudden changes in route and destination.
The objective is to provide, as far in advance as is practicable in the circumstances, each ATS unit
with appropriate information as to the expected or possible penetration of the aircraft into its area
of responsibility.
d) notify:
1) the operator or its designated representative;
2) the appropriate rescue coordination centre in accordance with appropriate alerting
procedures;
3) the appropriate authority designated by the State;
Note. It is assumed that the designated security authority and/or the operator will in turn notify other
parties concerned in accordance with pre-established procedures.
e) relay appropriate messages, relating to the circumstances associated with the unlawful
interference, between the aircraft and designated authorities.
Note. These messages include, but are not limited to: initial messages declaring an incident; update
messages on an existing incident; messages containing decisions made by appropriate decision
makers; messages on transfer of responsibility; messages on acceptance of responsibility; messages
indicating that an entity is no longer involved in an incident; and messages closing an incident.
15.1.3.4 The following additional procedures shall apply if a threat is received indicating that a
bomb or other explosive device has been placed on board a known aircraft. The ATS unit
receiving the threat information shall (STD):
a) if in direct communication with the aircraft, advise the flight crew without delay of the
threat and the circumstances surrounding the threat; or

b) if not in direct communication with the aircraft, advise the flight crew by the most
expeditious means through other ATS units or other channels.
15.1.3.5 The ATS unit in communication with the aircraft shall ascertain the intentions of the
flight crew and report those intentions to other ATS units which may be concerned with
the flight (STD).
15.1.3.6 The aircraft shall be handled in the most expeditious manner while ensuring, to the
extent possible, the safety of other aircraft and that personnel and ground installations
are not put at risk (STD).
15.1.3.7 Aircraft in flight shall be given re-clearance to a requested new destination without
delay. Any request by the flight crew to climb or descend for the purpose of equalizing
or reducing the differential between the outside air pressure and the cabin air pressure
shall be approved as soon as possible (STD).
15.1.3.8 An aircraft on the ground should be advised to remain as far away from other aircraft
and installations as possible and, if appropriate, to vacate the runway. The aircraft
should be instructed to taxi to a designated or isolated parking area in accordance with
local instructions. Should the flight crew disembark passengers and crew immediately,
other aircraft, vehicles and personnel should be kept at a safe distance from the
threatened aircraft.
15.1.3.9 ATS units shall not provide any advice or suggestions concerning action to be taken by
the flight crew in relation to an explosive device (STD).
15.1.3.10 An aircraft known or believed to be the subject of unlawful interference or which for
other reasons needs isolation from normal aerodrome activities shall be cleared to the
designated isolated parking position (STD). Where such an isolated parking position has
not been designated, or if the designated position is not available, the aircraft shall be
cleared to a position within the area or areas selected by prior agreement with the
aerodrome authority (STD). The taxi clearance shall specify the taxi route to be followed
to the parking position. This route shall be selected with a view to minimizing any
security risks to the public, other aircraft and installations at the aerodrome (STD).

ATC (in accordance with 1.1.5), the pilot shall, according to circumstances, either confirm
this or not reply at all (STD).
Note. If the pilot does not reply, ATC will take this as confirmation that the use of Code 7500 is not an
