ICS 220 – Air Operations Summary
The Air Operations Summary (ICS 220) is a worksheet to provide logistical support and show scheduled flights for incident aircraft. The ICS 220 communicates the assigned personnel, radio frequencies, and resources (fixed wing, helicopters and UAVs/Drones) earmarked to the Air Operations Branch. The ICS 220 also identifies specific tasks for aircraft and can be used to communicate any special instructions or safety notes related to Air Operations. For help on using general form functions (e.g. Create/Open Version, Save, etc.) and accessing preloaded versions, see the General Form Functions page.
