Aircraft Rescue Card
With the Aircraft Rescue Card's help, the rescue workers can quickly understand at the site of an accident danger elements in the aircraft and how to minimize the exposure of them to the rescuers.
The accident safety of new aircraft is at a good level because of the different safety equipment. However, the aircraft is strange to the rescue services, and the safety equipment in them can be dangerous to the rescuers when handled incorrectly. With a rescue card or QR code, the rescuers get the information where the dangerous parts are and how they can be secured safely. Rescue card contains important information on high energy parts and their switches and safetying parts and their location in the aircraft.
The pilot in the aircraft has received training on the use of high energetic devices found in them. If an aircraft makes a forced landing, the pilot will not necessarily be able to assist rescuers using them. In this situation, the person who does not know how to do it, tries to disconnect them and probably cannot make it safe. The card helps the rescuers to locate the devices and their connectors/safetying switches and to disconnect them securely.

Basic idea of the Aircraft Rescue card
The rescue card is an A4-sized sheet using a standard layout and symbols. It has a top view and a side view of the center of the aircraft. It quickly locates where to find the fuel tanks, batteries, and explosives as well as their safetying switches and devices.
The Aircraft rescue card is either a physical card in the aircraft or the same card's file linked by a QR code.
The rescue card is based on standard symbols, so irrespective of the reader's language skill, it helps to operate safely with the aircraft at an accident site. Through the QR code, using Internet, there can be videos in which it is shown how:
- door/canopy is opened;
- the electricity is switched off;
- the flow of the fuel is stopped or
- the rocket parachute equipment is secured to inoperative.
Where can one get the rescue card from and how much it costs?
There are links to the rescue cards in the link list of this page. You can print a card and sticker from these with a color printer to yourself and place it in your aircraft. At present, there are cards only for the most general machine types. If you want to do a card suitable to your own machine, an SVG template is provided in the links, showing how to create a card. We are happy to attach it to the list.
Instructions how to produce a card. here.
If you can't do it, we will make it against a small compensation — instructions.
Where is the rescue card placed
In the cars, the rescue card is placed behind the driver's sunshade. There is rarely a sunshade in the aircraft, and if there is, then it is without pocket. So it is not a suitable place.
The aircraft rescue card is located primarily on the internet, where all its features are available.
As a second source a card can be located in the back of the pilot's seat is the place in which the aircraft's rescue card is also placed under the pad of the back of the seat. It should be noticed that the pilot's place is usually on the left on the aeroplanes, in a helicopter on the right. Consecutively on tandem seated aeroplanes, either front or rear is the pilot's seat. The sticker that tells about the aviation's rescue card has information where it has been placed.
Sticker which tells about the rescue card
The sticker's location is preferably in front of the front cabin's door and below the windscreen. But not on the transperency! Depending on the aircraft its location can vary a little. In the sticker, the location of the rescue card is shown. The sticker also contains a QR code, which directly links to the right rescue card of the aircraft type. The code can be opened via a QR-reader and the information comes via Internet. The information can contain videos of the methods for secure handling of hazardous subjects.
