• MODE VII - OFF RWY LANDING-INACCESSIBLE

• MODE VIII - BAILOUT

CONTINGENCYRESPONSE

MODE VII

OFF RUNWAY, REMOTE AREA

• COORDINATE REGIONAL SAR ASSISTANCE

– SOC WILL PASS LOCATION AND NOTIFY JRCC

• INTERNAL RESCUE MAY BE REQUIRED

– BE AWARE OF HAZARDS

– CONDUCT SAFETY ASSESSMENT

• BEST EFFORT RESPONSE

– DICTATED BY AVAILABLE ASSETS

BAILOUT

• SOC WILL HELP COORDINATE SAR

– NOTIFY RESCUE COORDINATION CENTER

– PASS NUMBER, LOCATION, EQUIPMENT ETC

• SITE SHOULD ALERT LOCAL SAR FORCES

MEDICAL CODES

• MED CODE 0: NO REASONABLE EXPECTANCY OF SURVIVAL OR DECEASED

• MED CODE 1: CONDITION CRITICAL, IMMEDIATE CARE AND EVACUATION REQ'D

• MED CODE 2: CONDITION FAIR TO POOR, CARE REQUIRED BEFORE EVACUATION

• MED CODE 3: CONDITION GOOD TO FAIR, INJURIES DO NOT REQUIRE HOSPITALIZATION

• LOW PROBABILITY OF LANDING AT ELS– HIGHER AT NASA AUGMENTED (KSC, EDW,

WSSH), TALS AND LAUNCH ABORT SITES

• SUPPORT “BEST EFFORT”– WITHIN EXISTING CAPABILITIES

• INCORPORATE PROCEDURES INTO EXISTING PLANS AND CHECKLISTS

• SOC WILL PROVIDE NOTIFICATION, GUIDANCE, AND ASSISTANCE
