Airbus & Texas DPS Explain Large-Scale Search and Rescue Operations

February 24, 2020 / WIL BALDWIN

Article by Belén Morant, Media: Airbus Helicopters; Jonny Carroll; DTX Media

Tim Ochsner, Chief Pilot of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), explains the key to the success of the SAREX (search and rescue exercise)

When it comes to offering an adequate, effective and rapid response to natural disasters there’s no room for improvisation, particularly when a number of different agencies are involved. Tim Ochsner, Chief Pilot of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), explains the key to the success of the SAREX (search and rescue exercise) conducted by more than 20 different agencies since 2015, which has now established itself as the benchmark for rescue training in the US.

How did the need arise to organise rescue training on such a large scale as SAREX?

In 2011, the state of Texas had huge problems with wildfires, and the following years we had two major floods. All the agencies equipped with aerial capability for these kinds of situations were involved: the Army with their Lakotas, our local EMS agencies, the Austin Police Department with their H125 and San Antonio Police Department with an H125 as well…

We all quickly formed a team and worked together out of necessity due to the flooding. We didn’t have time to set much up – we just did it.

After those events, we thought we needed to come up with a better plan for training, establish a communication plan and standard operating procedures. We had to establish a cooperation framework that was independent to the parties we tend to work with, because at the end of the day these things can change. That’s how the SAREX exercise came about.

The Battle for San Antonio-Washington Reagan Flights

May 3, 2018 / WIL BALDWIN

Political pushback from airlines and a powerful industry union has put San Antonio in a holding pattern in its quest to secure nonstop flights to Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.

U.S. Representatives Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, and Will Hurd, R-San Antonio, were backing an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act that would exempt San Antonio from a so-called “perimeter rule,” which prohibits nonstop flights to Reagan from cities more than 1,250 miles away. But they withdrew the amendment last week in response to intense lobbying by key airline industry players opposing such a change.
