Abstract:
A new Aircraft Accident Awareness Program (AAAP) was developed, evaluated, and is available to emergency response service provider organizations (firefighters, emergency medical technicians, trauma center personnel, law enforcement, clergy, coroners, and media) who would be called to an aircraft accident scene.

Aircraft accident responder training is a critical factor in accident victim crash survivability and successful life-safety outcomes. This program was designed to teach participants about the unique conditions and safety hazards associated with aircraft crashes. A blend of academic classroom investigation, exposure to airworthy/unairworthy aircraft including operating systems and components, computer accident simulations, "hands-on" (destructive) extrication protocol training, and participation in simulated in-the-field accident scenarios was used as an instructional delivery model.
