Airport Fire Cover
Can any airfield ATCO's shed some light on local emergency procedures for me?
As we are now all aware a domestic firefighters strike is about to take place.
All our licenced airfields hold a CAA licence for operation. Part of that approval will include the airfields emergency plan. Accepted we have the the airport fire service still at work, but we all know the domestic fire service are ALSO part of the airport emergency plan.
Surely that plan is no longer valid, and hence the airport will not be operating in accordance with it's agreed plan, and therefore outside the terms of it's licence?
As ATCO's who have better knowledge of the airfield plans than any of us pilots do, am I barking up a completely wrong alley, or is there some validity in my thought process??
