Aviation Incident Response Training

Developed by Parabellum International Training (RTO Code: 51786) in consultation with industry, PUAFIR305 Respond to Aviation Incidents (General) and its prerequisite, PUAFIR203 Respond to Urban Fire, are nationally recognised units of competency that equip participants with the skills and knowledge required to respond effectively to aviation-related incidents, emergencies, and urban fire events.

These units cover the identification of aviation and fire-related hazards, the application of appropriate response strategies, and participation in coordinated emergency response operations. Participants will develop an understanding of aircraft types, aviation-specific risks, firefighting techniques, search and rescue procedures, and the roles and responsibilities of personnel operating within an incident response team.

This training is designed for personnel who may be required to respond to aircraft incidents as part of an Emergency Response Team (ERT), particularly within industries such as mining, resources, defence, aviation, and remote operations.

The training may be delivered as a standalone program or integrated into a broader emergency response training program.

IMG 9497 Aviation Incident Response Training 1

This course is comprised of two nationally recognised units of competency designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to respond to aviation-related incidents as part of an emergency response team.

PUAFIR305 Respond to aviation incidents

This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to work as a member of a non-specialist team, under supervision, when responding to an aviation incident. It applies to personnel required to respond to aircraft incidents, primarily outside of major domestic and international airports, and is not intended for specialist aviation firefighters.

The unit focuses on preparing for and supporting emergency response operations involving aircraft incidents, recognising aviation hazards, and working effectively as part of a coordinated response team.

  • Prepare to respond to an aviation incident.
  • Proceed to and access the aviation incident scene.
  • Identify aviation hazards and implement safe work practices.
  • Support response operations at an aviation incident.
  • Assist with search, rescue, and casualty management where required.
  • Conclude aviation incident response operations.

PUAFIR203 Respond to urban fire

This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to respond to an urban fire where offensive and defensive strategies are used. It includes proceeding to a fire, preparing extinguishing media and/or equipment for use, entering a structure, conducting search and rescues and combatting fires.

The unit applies to firefighting personnel who work as a member of a team, under direct supervision. Work at this level is undertaken under direct supervision, and with instruction.

  • Proceed to fire
  • Prepare extinguishing media and/or equipment for use
  • Enter the structure
  • Conduct search and rescue
  • Combat fires
  • Observe and react to changes in conditions and fire behaviour
  • Participate in ancillary operations
  • Conclude firefighting operations

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to these units at the time of publication.

Why Choose our Respond to Aviation Incidents Training?

  • Includes nationally recognised PUAFIR305 Respond to aviation incidents (general) and PUAFIR203 Respond to urban fire units of competency
  • Comprehensive rescue and emergency response training with hands-on practice
  • Perfect preparation for Emergency Response Team positions in defence and mining sectors
  • State-of-the-art training facilities and rescue equipment

 

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will have developed the skills and knowledge required to respond effectively to aviation-related incidents and urban fire emergencies as a member of an emergency response team. Participants will be able to identify and manage hazards, apply safe work practices, support search and rescue operations, operate firefighting equipment, and contribute to coordinated emergency response activities in accordance with organisational procedures, workplace safety requirements, and relevant legislative and operational standards.

Participants will demonstrate the ability to work effectively under supervision as part of a coordinated response team during both aviation incident and urban fire response operations, including recognising aviation-specific hazards, applying safe response procedures, and proceeding to fire scenes in a safe and controlled manner under direct supervision.

Career Pathways

Career opportunities following completion of this training may include roles as Emergency Response Team (ERT) members, industrial firefighters, site emergency responders, or safety personnel within industries such as mining, resources, defence, aviation support services, and remote site operations.

Mode of Delivery

The Respond to Aviation Incidents Training is delivered through a combination of theoretical and practical components, led by experienced and qualified trainers who maintain current industry knowledge in aviation incident response, emergency response, and rescue operations.

The course is delivered through a combination of structured learning methods, including:

  • Face-to-face practical training exercises
  • Self-paced online learning modules
  • Workplace-based training conducted in real or simulated work environments
  • Blended learning activities, such as workplace simulations and digital assessments integrated with practical demonstrations

This blended approach provides flexibility while ensuring that students develop both the theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills required to demonstrate competency in emergency response and rescue operations.

Assessment Methods

Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements.

Assessment methods may include:

  • Direct observation of practical skills and tasks during training exercises
  • Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
  • Written responses to theory-based questions
  • Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
  • combination of the above methods, as appropriate for each unit
Evidence Collection

Evidence of competency is gathered throughout the course and may include:

  • Completion of theory questions through structured learning plans in the Learning Management System (LMS)
  • Observation checklists completed by the trainer during practical assessments
  • Submission of portfolio evidence, such as workplace forms, reports, or documentation relevant to unit outcomes

This comprehensive approach ensures all students are assessed fairly, consistently, and in accordance with the units’ requirements.
