Early Interventions After Critical Incidents - Application

The application of early interventions after Critical Incidents varies depending on the location, the situation and the people involved. In this presentation the application of early interventions after three different Critical Incidents is illustrated. April 2004: Two Tornado PA 200 fighter jets collided in midair during a basic fighter maneuver. Both crewmembers of one aircraft died and the two crewmembers of the second aircraft got severely injured. December 2004: A Tornado PA 200 flew into the ground after a two ship formation take off. Both crewmembers died. January 2005: After the Tsunami flood catastrophe in Southeast Asia the German Armed Forces sent medical and flying personnel of the Strategic Air Medical Evacuation Command to Phuket and Bangkok to evacuate injured and non-injured victims in specially equipped aircraft (Airbus A310). After all these Critical Incidents early interventions according to the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) was provided by the Division of Aviation Psychology. Experiences in carrying out various approaches and methods of CISM are portrayed.
