Hi,
Three main questions regarding this documents and how are civil aviations acting regarding this around the world.
I was flying in Spain for a couple of years and in Spain Spanish CAA are making operators include in the Ops Manual that they will not operate in an airport with a fire category below that of the aircraft.
In Spain there is no further ruleing about this matter.
1- Is this a recomendation? If so dose the CAA have legal right to oblige you to comply with somehting that has not been ruled?
2- Acording to this document who is responsible to comply with this, the operators or the airport authorities? not permiting aircaft larger to the fire category land at their airport?
3- On Chapter 2.1.4 there is a note saying that form 01 Jan 2000 only one category below is alowed and from 01 Jan 2005 no ajustments may be made. But is the frequency of flights still considered to determine the category of FF of the airport or dose it count from the first flight.
Well I know I should get some friends and try to worry about football.
I have seen houndreds of times people operating to airports with Fire Cat 4 or 5 with large airliners and also using them as Alt.
Any light on this matter?
