Incident Reports

Record the incident, document the response, and carry the closeout into follow-up.

The response ends before the record is complete

An aircraft incident can involve responders, runway restrictions, and several decisions made in quick succession. Once operations resume, the airport still needs a clear account of what happened and how the response unfolded.

Closeout needs more than a change of status. The incident summary, reportability review, and follow-up belong with the original record so the next review starts with the facts already collected.

From the first report through closeout

  1. Start with the incident details

    Record the incident type and location, then add the aircraft and event details relevant to the response.

  2. Document the response

    Keep the responders involved, operational impacts, and response details on the incident record as the situation develops.

  3. Review before closing

    Capture the closeout summary, review reportability, and record the applicable ACM section and whether an after-action review is required.

  4. Carry the findings forward

    Use the closed record to open an AEP finding or a post-incident inspection when follow-up is needed.

What it automates

One place for the incident and response

Event details, responders, operational impacts, and closeout stay together in the same record.

A deliberate closeout

The summary and reportability review make the closeout decision visible alongside the incident details.

A starting point for follow-up

AEP findings and post-incident inspections can begin from the incident that prompted them.

Straight answers

What does an incident record contain?

The incident type and location, relevant aircraft details, responders, operational impacts, and a closeout summary with reportability review.

Does an incident report replace the Airport Emergency Plan?

No. The incident report records a specific event and its response. The Airport Emergency Plan remains the plan behind that response, with AEP findings available for follow-up.

What happens after the incident is closed?

The closed record retains the summary and review details. Staff can use it to open an AEP finding or a post-incident inspection when further work is needed.
