Opinion/Decision: Q2/2016
This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addresses safety and
proportionality issues related to the provision of rescue and firefighting
services (RFFS) at aerodromes.
The specific objective of this NPA is to establish and maintain a high uniform
level of civil aviation safety in the field of aerodrome operations, by clarifying
and offering adequate guidance on the provision of RFFS. The proposal also
introduces new requirements included in ICAO Annex 14 (sixth edition), as
well as Guidance Material from ICAO Doc 9137, Part 1, (fourth edition),
thereby fulfilling the European Union’s commitment to support Member States
(MSs) to meet their obligations towards ICAO.
The proposed changes are expected to establish and maintain a high level of
safety, increase the requirements’ cost-effectiveness in the existing AMC/GM
applicable to aerodromes and their operators, strengthen harmonisation
across MSs and ensure compliance with ICAO.
The aerodrome category for rescue and fire fighting is
determined according to the Table 1, based on the longest
aeroplanes expected to use the aerodrome and their fuselage
width. If, after selecting the category appropriate to the
longest aeroplane’s overall length, that aeroplane’s fuselage
width is greater than the maximum width in Table 1,
column 3, for that category, then the category for that
aeroplane should actually be one category higher.
