EMERGENCY
INTRODUCTION
2 INTRODUCTION
This Red Manual, "Standards and procedures for emergency statuses or aircraft accident", adopted
by ENAC in line with the national regulatory framework and in accordance with the roles and
jurisdictions conferred to the parties working at the airport, is the fundamental document containing
the planning and coordination of measures to be taken in relation to emergencies resulting from an
aircraft accident and large fuel spillages and fire involving the Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport
(ICAO Fire fighting Service Category 10) or its immediate vicinity (as defined in the following
paragraphs).
The aim is to minimise the negative effects of an emergency or an accident, especially with regard
to saving human lives and maintaining the highest possible degree of airport operations.
These aims are achieved by ensuring emergency services and adequate coordination of the various
parties involved in the rescue operations and establishing specific roles for each airport Body and
Service and contemplating the involvement of the outside public Authorities and Bodies in the event
of an accident occurring in the immediate vicinity of the airport.
To achieve these objectives, this Manual includes:
 The definition of the various Emergency Levels;
 The definition of precise roles, duties and responsibilities for every party involved;
 Designation of the authority that coordinates the operations;
 Definition of the tools that help airport operations quickly return to normal.
The management of each type of emergency requires that three main phases be defined:
 knowledge and communication;
 rescue operations;
 post-rescue operations.
A precise and orderly transmission of information between the various parties taking part in the
operations is of fundamental importance so that rescue operations are prompt and effective. This
means that it is necessary to pay close attention to the stage when alarm statuses in progress are
notified and observance of the flows of communication.
Finally, true effectiveness of the planning cannot be fully achieved without training all personnel
involved and periodically checking it with drills designed to detect and correct any deficiencies and
to guarantee that all personnel and organisations involved are knowledgeable of the roles and
duties to be performed.
These regulations annul and replace the previous provisions on emergency statuses or accident
rescue operations and goes into force starting from 26/11/2014.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
4 GENERAL REGULATIONS
Continuity of operations and personnel training
Each Body, Company and Organisation involved in the actions and operations covered by this
manual shall ensure continuity of the actions and operations of their jurisdiction through adequate
organisational provisions, with particular reference to cases of events that occur during shift
changes, as well as effective basic training, both initial and periodic, for their personnel assigned to
the tasks described in the manual. In addition, the staff of the Bodies involved must be trained in
order to learn the airport layout and the emergency equipment.
Circulation of vehicles in the manoeuvring area
Circulation of vehicles inside the airport manoeuvring area, even if they are engaged in the first aid
services, must in all cases be authorised in advance by the Control Tower, and it will be the Control
Tower that regulates the vehicles through UHF radio equipment installed on the vehicles.
Any other vehicles required but without a radio telephone (UHF radio equipment) installed cannot
circulate in the manoeuvring area unless preceded and guided by another vehicle provided with this
equipment.
Procedures during reduced visibility conditions
Whenever an Emergency status or Accident occurs, all traffic taxiing on the manoeuvring area will
be instructed by the Control Tower to restore and maintain its position.
With its equipment and/or information, the Control Tower will give the emergency vehicles the most
accurate information on the position of the aircraft in need of assistance and on the best route to
reach it.
Controlling news and photographs - keeping evidence useful in the investigation
In order to keep evidence useful for the investigations as provided for by Articles 826 and 827 of the
Navigation Code, do not:
 release information that may jeopardise and hinder the emergency operations;
 allow persons not authorised by the Local Civil Aviation Authority to interrogate the crew
members and passengers of the aircraft involved in the accident unless for carrying out
Judicial Police duties;
 allow persons not authorised by the Airport Management to take photographs and/or film;
 remove or tamper with the wreckage of the aircraft or alter the evidence left during the
accident until the Commissions of Inquiry have collected all the necessary elements, except
in cases of force majeure.
Managing investigation data
 The point of reference for representatives of the media is the Blue Room located at domestic
arrivals on the ground floor.
 Information regarding the flight may be disclosed only with the approval of the competent
Authority: Local Civil Aviation Authority and/or Judicial Authority.
 Operations personnel who have information on the event that occurred in their possession
must take the utmost care to preserve it.

EMERGENCY
CHECK AND UPDATE
4.1 CHECKING AND UPDATING THE EMERGENCY PLAN
Drills
Execution of an adequate drill programme is of fundamental importance in order for the Emergency
Plan to be effective as it allows the adequacy of the following to be verified:
 response of the personnel involved;
 Plan content, including the procedures used;
 equipment, systems, vehicles and infrastructures used.
Initiatives relating to verifying proper operation of the Plan in terms of planning and preparing drills
and any corrective actions are prepared by the Management and adopted by ENAC.
The drills are an essential tool to determine any shortcomings in the Plan, such as ambiguity or lack
of clarity of its content, practical unfeasibility of certain procedures, errors in the evaluation of
response time, etc.
The action plan will be assessed by:
A. Full-scale drills
They will be scheduled at intervals not exceeding one year.
The drill will follow planning meetings and/or operational briefings and will be followed by a debriefing in order to analyse single behaviours and the drill as a whole, and also determine
adjustments and corrections.
The full-scale drills include all the rescue Bodies defined in the Plan.
The drill must cover a broad spectrum of emergency scenarios (runway, strip, performance,
approach/take-off areas, adverse weather or night conditions or accident at sea).
To ensure the realism of the drill, it is advisable that a large aircraft be available and that scheduling
of the drills is not disclosed in advance.
The Bodies and personnel involved in the drill are identified on a case by case basis by ENAC.
B. Partial drills
The drills will be organised by each Body involved in the emergency procedures and will be planned
annually and not in conjunction with a general drill.
These drills will be essential to test the intervention procedures of each department
or airport area and the level of training of the personnel.
Each drill will be followed by a de-briefing and a report of the Body that carried it out on the level
of personnel training, on the preparation and suitability of the communications equipment, the
vehicles and the equipment available.
The partial drills are useful for:
 assessing changes introduced to the Plan;
 assessing the adequacy of corrective actions taken;
 training new personnel;
 assessing the adequacy of the new vehicles, equipment, infrastructures, etc.
Observer Check-Lists (ICAO Critique Sheets) must be introduced to keep track of the procedures
with which the Bodies involved implemented the drills in order to have precise references that can
be analysed during de-briefings. The observers are appointed during drill planning. If at all possible,
they should be persons outside the Body involved.
The results will be disclosed to the Movement Area Post Holder (PH-MOV) for any revision of the
Airport Emergency Plan.
page 11 of 89
EMERGENCY
CHECK AND UPDATE
C. De-briefings
Management calls a de-briefing with all the Bodies involved following the drills, activations of the
Accident status (Red Level) or when anomalies during Airport Emergency Plan activation occur in
order to define and evaluate the results of the drill or the emergency response in terms of achieving
the objectives and/or deficiencies found.
The de-briefing is called by management (Movement Area Post Holder) within the first week after
the date of the drill or the event as indicated above.
For those parties responsible, management proposes any corrective actions for the consequent
assessments to ENAC-Local Civil Aviation Authority or it points out the parts susceptible of
improvement by other Bodies/Organisations.
Each Body, for those parts of its responsibility, promotes and proposes any changes assessed after
drills or activation of an Accident so that corrective measures can be adopted, if necessary. Their
effectiveness can be checked through partial or total drills.
All the de-briefing activities and improvement actions agreed upon (whether they are meetings at
ENAC-Local Civil Aviation Authority or they are meetings within management’s organization) shall
be minuted and filed at the offices of the management (PH-MOV/ISE). The reports will also be
forwarded to the Safety Management System.
Updates
Updates to this edition are adopted by ENAC.
Airport Management proposes amendments to these rules relating to the parts it is responsible for in
connection with the changes that occur at the airport that may
alter the risk conditions.
It will be the responsibility of every party identified by these provisions to preserve and keep updated
copies in their possession.
Each airport Body or Service involved in the emergency operations is required to promptly notify
Airport Management that, as instructed by ENAC-Local Civil Aviation Authority, it will prepare the
update and its circulation.
Updates to the Airport Emergency Plan become necessary in connection with the changes that
occur at the airport and that can change the risk conditions, such as:
 All other information which has an impact on the procedures set out in the emergency plan;
 Physical characteristics of the landside and airside areas;
 Operational/organisation procedures;
 Supplies of personnel, vehicles and equipment of the emergency system;
 Infrastructure supplies serving the emergency system;
 Errors and/or omissions in the documentation and drawings of the plan;
 Updates of the documentation and/or drawings of the plan;
 Closure of the findings arising from the post drill de-briefing activity or as a result of
anomalies found in the actual activations of the plan;
 Telephone numbers;
 Contacts with external organisations;
 Supplies of devices and vehicles;
 Persons in charge involved in the operations.
Only the pages or new sections concerned may be sent to promptly implement the amendments
and supplements to the Airport Emergency Plan, without its complete reprint.
A list of changes will be communicated through:

EMERGENCY
TYPES OF EMERGENCY AND
SCOPE
4.2 TYPES OF EMERGENCY AND SCOPE
This Manual describes the procedures for Alarm, Emergency or Aircraft Accident statuses. It is
applied within the airport boundaries or in its immediate vicinity. The term immediate vicinity means
all those areas accessible by the airport response vehicles so they can aid rescue operations.
Whether or not immediate intervention of the airport Fire Brigade is necessary will be evaluated by
the local Fire Brigade Chief in conjunction with the Provincial Operations Room of the Fire Brigade
of Rome. It is also applied in the event of a water landing or an aircraft crash at sea, according to
the procedures described by the 3rd MRSC of Rome Fiumicino.
The Emergency Plan considers three different levels:
Alarm (Green Level)
Situation in which it is suspected that the aircraft or its occupants may be subject to danger, or there
is news of a failure or malfunction in the aircraft that does not require the Captain to immediately
declare an emergency.
Emergency (Yellow Level)
Situation in which one is sure of the state of danger to the aircraft and its passengers and an
accident is deemed possible or there is a large spillage of fuel or vapours in the fuselage.
Accident (Red Level)
This is the case in which an event harmful for the aircraft and/or its occupants, or the outset of a fire,
has been verified.
Definition of accident (Annex 13 ICAO): "an event associated with the use of an aircraft that, in the
case of an aircraft with crew, takes place between the time a person boards with the intention to fly
and the time all such persons who have boarded with the same intention have disembarked, in
which a) a person is fatally or seriously injured, b) the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure,
c) the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible.
Refer to different manuals for the different areas inside or outside areas the airport area. Under
certain circumstances, the Control Tower activates the appropriate manual through the special
"primary alarm communication system" (see annex 11.1) with the following scheme:
Type A Manual
Within the airport area (runways 07/25 – 16R/34L, relevant taxiways, aprons from 100
to 800)
Type B Manual
Within the airport area (runways 16L/34R -16C/34C, relevant taxiways)
Accident outside the airport area
Accident at sea
The airport emergency system is designed for the simultaneous management of two activations of
the emergency plan (A and B), even in reduced visibility conditions.
page 14 of 89
EMERGENCY
TYPES OF EMERGENCY AND
SCOPE
The next steps, regarding the assisting of uninjured passengers and relatives, collecting and
disseminating news, are managed according to the standards and procedures contained in this
manual, as well as what is set forth in the procedures for the COE Emergency Operations Centre
(formerly GESA), which is based at the Local Civil Aviation Authority - Office Tower, 7th floor.
The rules and procedures it contains have the following field of application:
within the airport area boundaries, including the movement area and the other areas;
outside the airport area, or in the immediate vicinity, provided that they are areas
accessible by the airport first response vehicles available and helpful to the rescue
operations;
in the event of a water landing or an aircraft crash at sea.
Emergencies other than an aircraft accident caused by natural events or related to carrying out
human activity are not discussed herein. The only exception made is a medical emergency declared
by an aircraft arriving at the airport. Emergencies that occur as a result of acts of terrorism or
attacks on safety of air transport are not discussed.
Level Activation
The Control Tower is the only Body qualified to activate the immediate intervention of the first aid,
fire-fighting and medical vehicles. Therefore, in case of danger it will activate the following levels:
Alarm (Green Level) - Emergency (Yellow Level) - Accident (Red Level);
any requests from third parties for immediate action must be directly addressed to the Tower.
page 15 of 89
EMERGENCY
ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF
CONCERNED BODIES
4.3 ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF CONCERNED BODIES
Each body assumes full technical responsibility for its intervention and it is also required to
implement any other action, even if not expressly stated, leading to a successful outcome of the
operations.
To this end, each airport Body or Service will adopt appropriate intervention procedures, taking into
account the different operating conditions, in particular those most critical, such as night and severe
weather conditions.
Particular attention should be paid to the training of personnel and the checking of equipment,
vehicles and devices.
Specific roles, functions and obligations are allocated to the Bodies, parties and operators of airport
services listed below:
 Airlines or their representatives: make available information on the aircraft that is the subject
of the emergency and the personnel for the needs of the post-accident operations, including
disabled aircraft removal, if required.
 ENAC (ENAC LOCAL CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY): adopts the emergency plan. If
necessary, it orders that other vehicles or equipment that are on-site at the airport be made
available for rescue operations. It adopts the subsequent aeronautical measures after the
accident.
 Airport management (Aeroporti di Roma S.p.a.): guarantees, for its responsibilities
established by this procedure, that the assistance and rescue services provided to passengers
involved in an aircraft accident are in any case and always carried out promptly, even in the case
of an aircraft that does not normally operate out of the Fiumicino airport.
 Air Traffic Control Service (ENAV Control Tower): ensures the control of air traffic and the
movements of aircraft and vehicles (including emergency vehicles) in the manoeuvring area. Its
primary task during emergency and rescue operations is to alert and communicate with ADR
Airport Emergency Coordination (CEA).
 Rescue and Fire Fighting Service (Fire Brigade): ensures the public rescue and fire fighting
service for air traffic and takes over technical management of their activities with its own
personnel, equipment and materials.
Normally, the Body authorised to request intervention of the Fire Brigade in the movement area
and in the Aerodrome Traffic Zone (ATZ) is the Control Tower.
If the information should directly reach the Fire Brigade, they must immediately inform the
Control Tower by radio and/or point-to-point telephone to activate the emergency.
The Control Tower will normally activate the Fire Brigade and fire stations using the "primary
alarm communication system".
In case of malfunction of the system, the system will communicate with:
 direct phone line (point-to-point);
 radio.
 Airport Health Service (ADR First Aid): The only Body authorised to alert First Aid is the
Control Tower. It is a structure that operates 24/7 to ensure medical assistance to passengers
and to all airport operators and that, in case of an airport emergency, ensures the first response
page 16 of 89
EMERGENCY
ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF
CONCERNED BODIES
medical assistance operations until outside external medical rescue (118) arrives. It is broken
down into:
 Flight Line First Aid; ADR Flight Line Emergency Physician appointed to intervene at the site
of the accident and Flight Line Medical Unit (B0), a first aid unit consisting of the Flight Line
Emergency Physician and a rescue driver for first response at the site of the event.
 Fixed First Aid Station; formed by a doctor, a rescue driver and a nurse instructed to set up
the Advanced Medical Post (Admission Room) for the reception and preliminary stabilisation
of the wounded in the event of an accident. In addition, other medical personnel is at the
First Aid station to provide medical assistance.
 Ambulances and Emergency Medical Supplies and Equipment Vehicle.
 Advanced Medical Post; fixed facility used as the Emergency Admission Room located at the
Ovest station of the Fire Brigade and, used for assistance and preliminary stabilisation of the
wounded.
 Physician providing assistance in the Uninjured Room.
 ARES (Regional Health Emergency) 118: ensures extra-hospital assistance in emergencyurgency situations, coordination and management of medical rescue during events requiring
extraordinary resources not available at the airport.
 Police Forces (Border Police, Carabinieri and Italian Tax Police): ensure monitoring,
supervision and public order in the affected areas under the coordination of the Director of the
Border Police.
In addition to his standard duties, the Director of the local Border Police Office also guarantees:
 compliance with the general provisions set forth in these regulations;
 compliance with the provisions contained in the Code of Navigation in case of accidents and
incidents, as well as in Italian Legislative Decree no. 66 of 25 February 1999 proposed by
the Agenzia Nazionale per la Sicurezza (ANSV - Italian flight safety agency);
 compliance with general or particular traffic rules provided for the circumstances;
 application of rules that ensure the transit of rescue vehicles to and from the airport on the
airport and main roads connecting the airport to Rome and Ostia;
 maximum cooperation with the Local Civil Aviation Authority to implement all measures
deemed necessary.
Similar to the Airport counter-terrorism procedures, coordination of the Police forces is assigned
to the Operations Room of the Border Police Office of the Rome - Fiumicino airport.
In particular, in the event of an accident, the Operations Room will attend to, where appropriate,
the communications with the Prefecture of Rome until the Emergency Operations Centre
(formerly GESA) is activated.
 Customs: recovers the fuel from the aircraft involved in the accident.
 USMAF (Maritime, Air and Border Health Offices) Air Health: ensures compliance with the
international preventive medicine laws related to air traffic, public health and Health Police.
 Maritime Department (Harbour Office of Rome Fiumicino): ensures search and rescue of
human life at sea with its own personnel, vehicles and materials.

8.3 PROCEDURE FOR THE FIRE FIGHTING AND RESCUE SERVICE
8.3.1 After receiving the Accident outside the airport area status (Red Level) from the Control
Tower, the rescue vehicles must intervene within an area extending beyond the airport enclosure,
including the lit approach paths and extending within an area for which it is possible to offer first aid
in time and effectively with the vehicles deployed at the service of the runway closest to the event.
The local Fire Brigade Chief, in conjunction with the Provincial Operations Room of the Fire Brigade
of Rome, evaluates whether or not immediate intervention of the airport Fire Brigade is necessary
and reports his decision to the Control Tower.
The point of the accident will be identified inside this zone using information that the Control Tower
will be able to transmit to the Fire Brigade Rescue Operations Manager over frequency 440.450
MHz, referring to the Grid Map.
8.3.2 If a part of the Fire Brigade force is used to intervene outside the airport area, the Fire Brigade
can reach the site of the event independently through the emergency gate deemed best suited for
rapid intervention, using the keys available on its vehicles to open it, and reporting the gate used to
exit using the "primary alarm communication system" with the shared calling system.
8.3.3 The Rescue Operations Manager (Fire Brigade ROS) can request and use the entire rescue
and fire-fighting force present at the airport. Air traffic will be interrupted until operations of the firefighting services at the service of one runway are restored.

9.8.1 Pursuant to Art. 830 of the Navigation Code as amended by Italian Legislative Decree no.
96/05 and pursuant to Italian Presidential Decree no. 662/1994, the coordinating Authority of the sea
search and rescue operations is 3rd MRSC (Maritime Rescue Sub Center) ROME (Maritime
Department - Harbour Office of Rome - Fiumicino).
9.8.2 The rescue operations for an aircraft crashed at sea are to be considered generally complex,
so the sea rescue planning activity to handle this type of emergency must be broken down in order
to ensure:
prompt and adequate receipt and valuation of the alarm;
clearness and simplicity of the operating procedures during the initial phases of the
rescue operation, in which an immediate and orderly response of the vehicles is
necessary;
utmost coordination in organising sea and land rescues when a large number of vehicles
(also belonging to different administrations) is involved in the intervention.
9.8.3 In light of the foregoing, therefore also contemplating a potential accident at sea, the
"Emergency Rescue Plan for an aircraft involved in an accident at sea" was drafted and approved
by 3rd MRSC of Rome - Fiumicino, with approval of the Maritime Manager of Rome on 21
September 2007, updated in January 2010.

page 58 of 89
EMERGENCY
COORDINATION OF THE
BODIES
The Management Committee Room is the airport centre for coordination of the emergency and/or
critical situations.
The Committee is called in the event of emergency situations that might involve inconveniences for
overall airport operations such as, for example, an aircraft accident, evacuation of the terminals due
to malicious acts or disastrous events, snow or in anticipation of events that might involve
inconveniences on airport operations such as, for example, strikes or an unusual number of
incoming flights for sports or religious events. This Room can also be used for situations that do not
require that the other two rooms (CRIE Room and CCA Room) be opened.
The Committee is activated and headed by the Local Civil Aviation Authority, in the figures of the
Manager or Available Deputy. ENAC (Local Civil Aviation Authority) coordinates the Room and
harmonizes the management and real time updating of all information reaching every Body in the
Room. ENAC can delegate one of those present in the COE Emergency Operations Centre Room
to cover the position of "harmonizer".
The Emergency Operations Centre receives the information and updates from the Bodies at the site
of the event or at the Mobile Command Post and shares, assesses and coordinates the
interventions and beforehand establishes the actions to take in terms of activities and/or information
inside and/or outside the airport. Any information intended for inside and outside the airport (flight
delays, cancellations and anything else deemed useful for passengers and/or the public) must be
first agreed to with the Committee.
ENAC is responsible for releasing the information pertaining to the event and airport operations
outside the airport.
The ADR Station Manager or his deputy opens the Room and while waiting for ENAC (Local Civil
Aviation Authority) to arrive, coordinates with the ENAC Available Deputy and heads the Emergency
Operations Centre.
If one or more parties is absent, this does not invalidate the activity of the Emergency Operations
Centre, and its members can be added to - if necessary - by other professional figures involved in
managing the Accident.
The Committee members are responsible for contacting the Public Bodies in charge, which notify
the relatives of the persons involved in the event and their injury or death, if that is the case.
10.1.5 CRIE (Emergency Information Collection Centre) Room - The Room is located in room no.
731 and is made up of volunteer personnel belonging to the Bodies operating within the airport
system, provided with badges.
The CRIE Emergency Information Collection Centre is manned by voluntary personnel trained to
cope with emergency situations.
CRIE is the information hub. It stays in constant contact with the Airlines Centre and the COE
(formerly GESA) Management Committee. It ensure permanent contact with the public through the
free phone number made available to collect, check and provide information on the people involved
in the event.
If the COE (formerly GESA) Management Committee so requests, CRIE can be activated even in
the case of an aircraft accident occurring outside the national boundaries, but with the assumption
that Italian citizens are on board the aircraft.
page 59 of 89
EMERGENCY
COORDINATION OF THE
BODIES
The CRIE Emergency Information Collection Centre is made up of about 80 volunteers who are
divided up into groups of 30 people (including seven replacements) that operate in 4-hour shifts
when operations are in progress.
In carrying out its duties, the group has 23 units and is structured as follows:
 1 CRIE manager
 1 information manager
 1 coordinator
 20 emergency operators
If one no longer wants to belong to the CRIE Emergency Information Collection Centre Room, the
badge must be returned. The names and phone numbers of the CRIE Room personnel are put on a
special list kept in the CRIE Room. Any changes must be promptly reported to ISE.
Volunteers are bound by an obligation of confidentiality, and in no case whatsoever can they
disclose documents and/or information to people outside the Centre.
If an emergency occurs, the personnel not on duty at that time is contacted by phone. Unless on
duty, the personnel in no case whatsoever may go to the airport, but instead must contact the CRIE
Room and offer their willingness to help to the Coordinator on shift. As soon as one comes on duty
he must follow the instructions received from the CRIE Room Manager before starting any activity.
The main job of the voluntary personnel of the CRIE Room is to answer the phone calls of the
relatives who ask for information about the people involved in the event.
The work carried out at the CRIE Room is organised with a double data entry procedure. Phone
information is transcribed on special forms that are afterwards entered into an IT system specially
created for the CRIE Room.
10.1.6 CCA (Airlines Centre) Room - The Centre is located in room no. 726 and is made available to
the Airline involved in the accident or event.
Through the Airlines Centre Room, the airline involved in the event has the possibility to manage the
priorities and exceptionalities caused by the event while at the same time dedicating itself to the
regular performance of the other airport operations at its facilities.
10.2 UCL - MOBILE COMMAND POST
10.2.1 The UCL (Mobile Command Post), put into operation upon the explicit request of the Fire
Brigade Special Operations Group, is the point at the site of the event where the managers of the
various cooperating Bodies can meet to receive and disseminate information pertaining to the
rescue operations.
Communications with the COE (formerly GESA) Room are entrusted to the Fire Brigade Special
Operations Group through the Mobile Command Post, and it serves as contact to implement the
operations received.
10.2.2 Those entitled to take part are:
 Fire Brigade Special Operations Group
 ARES (Regional Health Emergency) 118
page 60 of 89
EMERGENCY
COORDINATION OF THE
BODIES
 Police representative
 ADR representative
10.2.3 The characteristics of this unit are:
 It is a mobile structure easy to install at the zone involved;
 It serves as a management, coordination and communications centre for significant aircraft
accidents;
 It is well-positioned taking into consideration the soil conditions and direction of the wind, and
is adjacent to the accident area.
10.2. In the event of an accident, it is of primary importance that the Mobile Command Post be
immediately recognisable and visible. It must be set up as soon as possible and ensure continuous
command so that all Bodies, in dealing with it, can be informed in detail on the situation before
performing their specific duties.
10.2.5 The unit must be able to accommodate the equipment and personnel essential for
communicating with the other Bodies involved in the emergency, as well as with ADR Airport
Emergency Coordination; for this reason it is equipped with:
 radio devices on the frequencies of the Airport, the Provincial Headquarters of Rome CH 48
and the Fiumicino Harbour Office
 wireless connection for internal use
 video systems, maps, etc.
10.2.6 If the Local Crisis Unit Van is unavailable, the Mobile Command Post will be managed at the
Red 1 AV, which can be contacted by:
 service telephone line
 ADR line
 radio frequency 440.450 MHz
10.2.7 Following instructions given by the Fire Brigade, the 118 ambulances must go to the
Advanced Medical Post and even to the site of the accident, escorted by SAR.
10.3 EVENT ON THE APRONS
10.3.1 Emergencies or Accidents on aprons fall under the cases described in Red Manual A, Yellow
and Red Level, respectively. Therefore, when the Tower activates them, the Fire Brigade forces of
the Delta and Ovest Stations will respond as a consequence, and in compliance with what is set out
in the regulations. As a result, this will involve the temporary suspension of movements on runways
16R/34L and 07/25.
By way of example, if an aircraft on the ground is damaged by service vehicles, another aircraft or
collision with infrastructures, and there is a risk for the safety of the people (passengers, crew,
operators, etc.), the Accident status (Red Level) will be activated.
10.3.2 If, as soon as it occurs, the Fire Brigade Fire Fighting Service Manager deems that the event
can be handled with a number of vehicles and men lower than the standard, he will quickly re-

EMERGENCY
COORDINATION OF THE
BODIES
position the unnecessary vehicles at the stations they belong to in order to restore activities on the
runway as quickly as possible, if necessary lowering the fire-fighting category so as to minimise the
impact on airport operations.
10.3.3 If the availability of the minimum amounts of fire extinguishing agents and vehicles used in
rescue operations is reduced to an extent as to not guarantee the maximum fire-fighting category
required at the airport, total suspension of the operations must be avoided and the runways the
Manual affects must instead be declassified. Fire Brigade vehicles unnecessary for rescue
operations will report to the Fire Brigade Operations Room and Control Tower as soon as they
return to their Stations, and the Tower will partially reopen to traffic and authorise only movements
up to the maximum category covered.
10.3.4 DOC.9137 – P1 Fire-fighting categories
10.3.5 In order to permit movements up to ICAO category X on runways 16R/34L and 07/25, the
presence of at least three main vehicles in the Ovest Station and one main vehicle in the Delta
Station will always be necessary; for movements up to ICAO category VIII, the presence of at least
two main vehicles in the Ovest Station and one main vehicle in the Delta Station will always be
necessary. If based on current traffic needs the Tower has to keep the above-mentioned runways
operational, it can ask that a main Fire Brigade vehicle be moved from the Est Station, in this way
penalising runway 16L/34R and lowering its category to VIII.
Reduced or partial operations will be allowed once the vehicles are physically in the Station to be
covered with replenished fire extinguishing agents.
10.3.6 Once operations of the Delta and Ovest Stations are re-established, Flight Control,
coordinated with the ADR Station Manager, may reactivate the refuelling of aircraft falling under the
category truly covered.

operations office so that it can be quickly consulted.
11.2.5 Removing the aircraft and/or wreckage
Pursuant to Art. 729 of the Navigation Code, ENAC informally notifies the owner or operator of
the aircraft the order to remove the aircraft and/or wreckage and sets the deadline for it to be
done, depending on the needs of any legal, technical-formal or cursory requests. Moreover,
the authority may order disabled aircraft removal to speed up removal, without being
responsible for any additional damage that may be caused to the aircraft.
The Operator may perform the operations to lift and recover the aircraft involved in the
accident upon the request of the Authority or Airline (see ADR Operational Safety 7.5.3.5).
In the case of Emergency or Accident, the corresponding airline must gather the technical
personnel and special equipment to be used for the aircraft removal operations directly or through
another company.
The airline operating at the airport must guarantee availability of qualified personnel to manage the
activities tied to disabled aircraft removal involved in the accident 24/7, either directly or through
another company. For this reason it communicates the list of one or more appointed people in
charge to the Operator and the Local Civil Aviation Authority (as required in the Airport Regulations
under paragraph 7.1.12).
11.2.6 Assistance costs
In the case of Emergency or Accident, the airline must provide all assistance activities either
directly or through its handler: disembarkation, assistance provided to uninjured passengers at the
special Room, any necessary recovery and transport of luggage and assistance provided to
relatives.
In the case of an aircraft of an airline not operating out of the Fiumicino airport, assistance shall be
ensured by the handling company selected by the above-mentioned airline based on information
given by the Operator.
