ADEQUACY OF GROUND FACILITIES — SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT OF OPERATIONS WITHOUT RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SERVICES AT THE AERODROME OF INTENDED OPERATION
To operate at an aerodrome with downgraded or unavailable rescue and firefighting services (RFFS), the operator may consider including in its operations manual, for each aircraft type, certain criteria to be used when conducting a safety risk assessment of such operations. For aircraft in rescue and firefighting (RFF) category 3 and higher, the conditions under which the pilot-in-command may decide to conduct a flight may include, but not be limited to the following:
(a) acceptable downgrades of RFFS for planning
and in-flight purposes such as departure, destination, and alternate
aerodromes;
(b) aircraft characteristics related to mass,
landing speed, fuel capacity;
(c) length of route or flight duration;
(d) maximum number of passengers on board;
(e) possible limitation to daytime only or a
certain time of the day (due to fatigue);
(f) weather constraints;
(g) aerodromes that are unacceptable with
unavailable or downgraded RFFS.
