Which team is responsible for handling all emergencies on the flight deck?

The Crash and Salvage Team is responsible for handling all emergencies on the flight deck, especially incidents involving aircraft accidents or malfunctions. Their primary mission includes responding to crashes, helping to recover damaged aircraft, and dealing with any associated fires or hazards that may arise during flight operations. This team is specifically trained to manage the unique challenges that can occur on the flight deck, including the quick containment of fires and securing the area to prevent further danger.

While other teams like the Firefighting Team may handle fires in general, the Crash and Salvage Team is specifically tailored for emergencies that occur during flight operations, making their role critical in ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment on the flight deck. The Damage Control Team, although essential for overall shipboard safety and managing damage during maritime emergencies, does not focus exclusively on the flight deck environment, thus allowing the Crash and Salvage Team to specialize in aerial incidents. The Flight Operations Team manages the coordination of flight operations but does not directly handle emergencies.
