§ 139.327 

(1) The marshalling, transportation, 

and care of ambulatory injured and 
uninjured accident survivors; 

(2) The removal of disabled aircraft; 
(3) Emergency alarm or notification 

systems; and 

(4) Coordination of airport and con-

trol tower functions relating to emer-
gency actions, as appropriate. 

(e) The plan required by this section 

must contain procedures for notifying 
the facilities, agencies, and personnel 
who have responsibilities under the 
plan of the location of an aircraft acci-
dent, the number of persons involved in 
that accident, or any other informa-
tion necessary to carry out their re-
sponsibilities, as soon as that informa-
tion becomes available. 

(f) The plan required by this section 

must contain provisions, to the extent 
practicable, for the rescue of aircraft 
accident victims from significant bod-
ies of water or marsh lands adjacent to 
the airport that are crossed by the ap-

carriers. A body of water or marshland 
is significant if the area exceeds one- 
quarter square mile and cannot be tra-
versed by conventional land rescue ve-
hicles. To the extent practicable, the 
plan must provide for rescue vehicles 
with a combined capacity for handling 
the maximum number of persons that

carrier aircraft in the Index group re-
quired under § 139.315.

forcement agencies, rescue and fire-

ants at the airport, and all other per-
sons who have responsibilities under 
the plan; 

(2) To the extent practicable, provide 

for participation by all facilities, agen-
cies, and personnel specified in para-
graph (g)(1) of this section in the devel-
opment of the plan; 

(3) Ensure that all airport personnel 

having duties and responsibilities 
under the plan are familiar with their 
assignments and are properly trained; 
and 

(4) At least once every 12 consecutive 

calendar months, review the plan with 
all of the parties with whom the plan is 
coordinated, as specified in paragraph 

(g)(1) of this section, to ensure that all 
parties know their responsibilities and 
that all of the information in the plan 
is current. 

(h) Each holder of a Class I Airport 

Operating Certificate must hold a full- 
scale airport emergency plan exercise 
at least once every 36 consecutive cal-
endar months. 

(i) Each airport subject to applicable 

FAA and Transportation Security Ad-
ministration security regulations must 
ensure that instructions for response 
to paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(7) of this 
section in the airport emergency plan 
are consistent with its approved air-
port security program. 

(j) FAA Advisory Circulars contain 

methods and procedures for the devel-
opment of an airport emergency plan 
that are acceptable to the Adminis-
trator. 

(k) The emergency plan required by 

this section must be submitted by each 
holder of a Class II, III, or IV Airport 
Operating Certificate no later than 24 
consecutive calendar months after 
June 9, 2004.
