DOC-9137 Part 7 recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization. It<br />

looked into the related procedures for emergency incidents used at Chiang Kai Shek<br />

Airport.<br />

2.3.1 Categorization and Details of CKS Airport Emergency Procedures<br />

According to the categorization and details of emergency cases in chapter<br />

1.18.1 of ICAO documentation, we reviewed the related regulations governing the<br />

CKS Airport emergency responses and found out the inconsistency of the<br />

categorization of emergencies and the procedures described in different procedure<br />

manuals. It made the involved agencies to do the emergency responses their own way<br />

or with no procedure at all. This resulted in the failure of agencies to be effectively<br />

integrated for their operations.<br />

For example, the airport had “Implementation Highlights of CKS Airport to the<br />

Accident or Incident Handling Procedures.” The Chapter 9 of this document<br />

contained the procedures for accidents or incidents happened on and off the airport. If<br />

the accident happened on the airport, it would be categorized as either “Partial<br />

damage of the aircraft after landing ; No fire explosion after landing with no<br />

injuries;Fire and explosion after landing with occupants injured and fatal.” The off<br />

airport accidents were categorized as “aircraft accident on ground” ; “aircraft<br />

accident on sea.”<br />

Implementation Highlights of CKS Airport Aircraft Accident and Incident Handling<br />

Procedures failed to take into account the total emergency accidents procedures and<br />

the local area standby procedures. However, the handbook of the firefighting squad of<br />

the CKS Airport categorized the procedures into “The accidents during takeoff or<br />

landing”;”Request for emergency landing due to special reason”; “The warning<br />

from the aircraft on ground “; ” Fire inside an architectural and fire outside an<br />

architectural” and so forth. This handbook described the handling procedures used by<br />

firefighters, but no sound procedures for the supporting agencies. There were<br />

procedures dealing with natural disasters mentioned in “CKS Airport Typhoon<br />

Precautionary Measures” There were emergency procedures for illegal interference of<br />

flying activities mentioned in “CKS Airport Emergency Responses for Aircraft<br />

Incident Except Hijacking.”<br />

2.3.2 Procedures for Accidents Off the Airport<br />

Section 4.2 of the ICAO Airport Emergency Handbook mentioned the responsibilities<br />

of each unit in the event of an accident off the airport (refer to Appendix 12). Section<br />

3.12 of the handbook mentioned the important role played by the Search and Rescue<br />

Coordination Center in an off the airport accidents, especially when there was no<br />
