Depletion of RFFS
Trying to clarify what the situation is when RFFS is temporarily depleted (say due to a u/s fire engine).
My understanding from CAP168 is that the aerodrome should inform pilots of the depletion and the current category being provided.
My question is: if I am on approach when the RFFS category goes down, whose decision is it whether to land or abandon the approach until the normal category is restored - i.e. do I as commander accept the lower category and land (with clearance of course) or do I need the aerodrome authority to accept me at the lower category before I can land?
