Why ERP Templates Matter in Aviation
An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is a structured framework within an aviation SMS that outlines procedures for managing crises, such as aircraft accidents, serious incidents, or operational disruptions like fires or security threats. The ERP integrates with the four SMS pillars—Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance, and Safety Promotion—to ensure a proactive approach to safety.
A key aspect of the ERP is its notification framework, which governs how incidents are communicated to regulators, emergency services, families, and the public.
