Procedures for MoD Aircraft Accident Alerting and Post Crash Management Initiation apply to all aircraft on the UK military register including aircraft of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), the RN and Army Historic Flights, as well as several other categories as detailed in Section 100 of JSP 551 Vol 2.
The principal elements of the procedure are as follows:
The Defence Crisis Management Centre (DCMC) Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff Duty Officer (DCDSDO) becomes the recipient of initial aircraft accident reporting during working and non-working hours, i.e. 24/7 duty. The contact telephone number is: 9621-88938 or 0207 218 8938.
The DCDSDO will initiate MOD’s immediate response to an aircraft accident, alerting key units and officials by telephone. Units and officials that have non-immediate actions will be informed by e-mail. JSP 551 Vol2 is now the authoritative source document for Post crash Management Procedures.
