Air Operations Summary
Purpose. The Air Operations Summary (ICS 220) provides the Air Operations Branch with the number, type, location,
and specific assignments of helicopters and air resources.
Preparation. The ICS 220 is completed by the Operations Section Chief or the Air Operations Branch Director during
each Planning Meeting. General air resources assignment information is obtained from the Operational Planning
Worksheet (ICS 215), which also is completed during each Planning Meeting. Specific designators of the air resources
assigned to the incident are provided by the Air and Fixed-Wing Support Groups. If aviation assets would be utilized for
rescue or are referenced on the Medical Plan (ICS 206), coordinate with the Medical Unit Leader and indicate on the ICS
206.
Distribution. After the ICS 220 is completed by Air Operations personnel, the form is given to the Air Support Group
Supervisor and Fixed-Wing Coordinator personnel. These personnel complete the form by indicating the designators of
the helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft assigned missions during the specified operational period. This information is
provided to Air Operations personnel who, in turn, give the information to the Resources Unit.
Notes:
If additional pages are needed for any form page, use a blank ICS 220 and repaginate as needed.
