INTRODUCTION The intent of this model is to provide a coordinated response to an incident in a timely and appropriate manner to enable restoration of normal operations. The primary stakeholders that may be involved in responding to and resolving incidents, events and threats are: The Airport owner; Airline Operators and/or appointed representatives; Police, Fire and rescue Critical Service providers: Council, Hydrant & Fuel; Airservices Australia; and Other government agencies as appropriate i.e. Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, etc. The model allows for any of the above agencies to request an IAT meeting. The Airport Security Contact Officer / Airport Compliance Coordinator would establish the IAT on behalf of the stakeholders. The IAT does not have to physically meet. It can be convened via teleconference if the matter is time critical or stakeholders are unable to attend in person. Following the IAT meeting the incident would continue to be managed by existing operational processes as appropriate.

AROUND THE WORLD Dear Airbus friends, What makes a technical magazine a ‘good’ technical magazine? No doubt one of the most important ingredients is the relevancy and quality of its contents, but so is the quality of its layout. A good technical article is one that conveys accurate, sometimes complex, and useful data in a meaningful and easy way to understand. This is where the quality of the layout, design and illustrations play an important role. These three attributes serve the article to make it easy to read and help the writers pass on their complex technical messages to the reader. The layout must render complex subjects WORLDWIDE more accessible and the photos and illustrations must contribute Bruce Jones to a better understanding of the article.
