Airport Emergency Plan (AEP)

Airport Emergency Plan management, exercise-ready and aligned to the emergency-plan requirement.

An emergency plan that's only opened during an emergency is already behind

The airport’s emergency program depends on a current plan, participating agencies, trained people, and exercised procedures. The applicable exercise requirement also depends on the airport’s certificate class.

Glidepath connects controlled plan versions, agency coordination, reviews, drills, communications checks, and after-action follow-up in one workspace.

The whole exercise program, tracked against its own clock

  1. Maintain the controlled plan and review

    Maintain plan versions, approval evidence, effective dates, and supporting documents. Annual reviews retain the coordination record for participating parties.

  2. Track the applicable exercise requirement

    The full-scale exercise countdown applies to Class I airports. Other certificate classes show the applicable state, and a missing class remains a configuration gap.

  3. Record communications checks and exceptions

    Check the response-agency roster, record each result, and retain exceptions and follow-up. A completed check can still contain a failed contact.

  4. Follow exercises into safety actions

    Keep exercise records and after-action follow-up connected to the safety program. Completed drills and communications checks supply the supported SMS indicators.

What it automates

Applicability stays visible

Exercise readiness follows the recorded airport certificate class.

Checks retain their exceptions

A completed communications check preserves each agency result and the contacts that need follow-up.

Plans and response records connect

The active plan, reviews, exercises, and after-action records remain in the same program.

Straight answers

How does the full-scale exercise requirement apply?

The 36-month requirement under §139.325(h) applies to Class I certificate holders. Glidepath uses the recorded certificate class and does not assume that every airport has the same requirement.

What counts as a completed comms check for the month?

The check records a result for each participating agency, including exceptions. Completion does not mean every agency was reached successfully.

Does the AEP module connect to anything else?

Yes. Exercise and after-action records connect to the safety program, and completed drills and communications checks supply the supported SMS indicators.

Can I export the plan and its exercise records?

Yes. The plan itself, a drill log by year, and a monthly comms-check log all export as PDFs.
