Q

What is an aerodrome emergency plan?

Why do we have them?

A

A procedure prepared at an aerodrome so that it can cope with an emergency at the aerodrome or in the vicinity

The objective of an AEP is to minimise the effects of said emergency, particularly with lives lost and maintaining aircraft operations
