Nimbl has introduced an <a href="https://gonimbl.com/emergency-response-plans-explained/">emergency response plan (ERP) guide</a> designed to help business aviation operators strengthen their preparedness for possible crises. The company reported an 85% increase in operators adding ERPs from 2023 to 2024.
According to Nimbl, operators are increasingly recognizing the importance of formal response planning, including smaller operations that may have fewer resources. The company's guide consolidates years of ERP expertise into a single resource and outlines the core elements required for an effective plan. It also provides recommendations for testing against a range of scenarios, including aircraft accidents, natural disasters, and security incidents.
Nimbl noted that the need for thorough emergency response planning has grown exponentially in an evolving aviation environment. “Compiling an ERP guide that covers all aspects of operational safety is just another way we help to ensure our customers are as prepared as possible for whatever may happen,” said Nimbl director of product development Kevin Honan.
Providing free safety resources is consistent with Nimbl’s approach to supporting continuous operator improvement, according to the company. Nimbl noted that the ERP guide is intended to help mitigate risks during emergencies by giving operators structure for emergency response, based on experience.
Headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area, Nimbl (née AviationManuals) supports more than 4,000 operators worldwide with safety management, procedures manuals, and compliance support.
