FAQ n.140164

The aerodrome operator should not only consider the deployment of available vehicles and equipment but also and foremost  their specifications and requirements, in order to deploy the vehicles and equipment effectively. The following technical factors may increase or decrease the number of rescue and firefighting services (RFFS) personnel:

1. number, types, and seat capacity of vehicles (cf. AMC3 ADR.OPS.B.010);
2. number and type of potential rescue equipment for a response to difficult environments at or adjacent to the aerodrome;
3. technical configuration and state-of-the-art features of vehicles and other rescue equipment available at the aerodrome; and
4. human or infrastructural capability of effective deployment of required rescue equipment.
