Order to do things post Incident/Accident
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the sequence of events that should be carried out by PIC following and Incident or Accident?. I'm also interested in your ideas regarding the 'first & second call' made by the pilot. What about contacting the unions with regard to their protection provided, especially if blame could be laid on the pilots. What about when your company phone starts ringing of the hook, deciding who to speak to and who to call back later when your more clear, perhaps after a crew debrief so everyone singing of same sheet. Also how to confirm that the person on the line is who they say they are? (Maybe using a call back via a company switchboard to confirm you are actually speaking to chief pilot or Safety Authority). Handling of airport managers/fire departments/police statements/company ground employees. What about ideas of handling media which will buzzing around for the inside story!
Working for a major carrier i recently declared a pan which was purely precautionary and a bit of a non event involving a return to land. However the circus that followed was a little overwhelming!! A guide or idea of which order to do things (especially if doubt exists as to pilot error and with regard to legal protection) would be great!!
Any thoughts??
