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.
