We are conducting an Aerodrome emergency plan live exercise today
00:03
where we're testing our response to a simulated aircraft emergency on the airport.
00:09
We've got over 130 people engaged today between participants, responders and emergency services
00:15
as well as some observers and we'll be setting up a live crash site on our airfield
00:19
and then deploying those resources to that site to go through all of the processes associated
00:24
should we have that type of event on the airport.
00:25
It's an opportunity again to test our safety response to those types of events
00:29
should they occur on airport and also look at our facilities and to continuously improve
00:33
how we might respond if that type of incident occurs.
00:36
We're one of the agencies that are testing our own response to an emergency exercise
00:40
so we have Tasmania Police, TAS Fire, TAS Ambulance and it's a really good opportunity for us
00:45
to see how we operate under this type of situation.
00:49
Thankfully we don't get too many air crashes in Tasmania
00:52
so any opportunity to do a practice run to see how we operate is really welcome by us.
00:58
In an event like this we become the lead agency in managing the crash
01:03
so for us to attend, if we're doing a normal day operations, to actually attend, get the briefing,
01:11
take over the scene, manage the incident and test how we operate under a stressful situation involving an air crash.
01:18
So I've been on the plane acting out as a passenger who's stressed out and doesn't know where they are
01:25
so I'm expecting to get help with it or just be taken out of the plane and somewhere safe.
01:31
It just seemed really interesting and something that I would really like doing.
01:35
I also really like to act out things which is really good and just no experiences.
