Yulista Integrated Solutions (YIS) recently completed a successful Mishap Planning Response Exercise at the Aviation Center of Excellence (ACE) in Meridianville AL. Duncan Brady, Director of Safety for YIS, had this to say about the exercise:
“Each year, the Yulista Safety Team leads the Huntsville Executive Airport and Yulista Aviation Center of Excellence Mishap Response Plan Exercise in conjunction with multiple internal and external support agencies. An annual requirement, the plan exercised Yulista’s response to a major on-airfield emergency. Firefighting, rescue, spill response, and extraction capabilities, were exercised culminating in leadership notification, evidence preservation, and accident investigation procedures. The event displayed the high level of skill and professionalism available on a moment’s notice. Senior VIP’s noted that the exercise was one of the best displays of emergency response capabilities they have observed, and commended all on the level of planning, expertise, and control measures demonstrated.”
