Info Needed on DRC airports
Does anyone know where I can get a document that shows the Fire fighting Rescue category of the airports in Democratic Republic of the Congo. I need the fire fighting rescue capability of the following DRC airports: FZWA, FZAO, FZIC, FZQA, FZEA, FZUA, FZOA, FZFD, FZJH, FZFK ,and FZNA.
One more question; does anybody know anything about runway strength charts that use TL or TTL instead of PCN, ACN ? I have checked ICAO documents and no luck with TL or TTL .
Thanks in advance.

Check in the Jepp Airport Directory. In the first pages they provide ACNs for all A/C. At the end you will find national register of all the airports in the country. The register info includes the RFF cat and LCN. I don't have it in front of me be but most are classified as "u" unknown in the DRC. I don't even think that there has been an AIP in many years so the information available should be taken with a pinch of salt. Good luck

No Jepp manual access

Thanks just the same. .

Below are two photos showing crash, fire and rescue activity taking place in the aftermath of the Hewa Bora Airlines accident of April 15, 2008 at Goma airport. Perhaps this might help you in your research.

Whatever the paperwork says it will be safe to assume that...
The Fire truck is in a locked hangar and the key was last seen in 1987
This won't matter as the lock is rusted solid
There will be no fuel in the Fire truck
This won't matter because the battery was stolen at the same time as the fuel
There will be no water in the Fire truck
This won't matter as the pumps don't work
...... and anyway the tyres are all flat

And what bugs me the most is, you are paying a small fortune for navigation fees when the navigation equipment doesn't work, landing fees for airports that haven't been maintained since the 60's, landing lights that don't work and no services at the airports in general! TIA

Get in touch with the Safety division of MONUC, it's the United Nations Mission in DRC. They will have all the info you need.
The contract number was +243818905000/0000, but that was a long time ago so you might have to find out the latest switchboard number.
Only the UN has acceptable Fire protection available for thier aircraft, however if things go wrong they usually lend a helping hand
Anyone have the MONUC Switchboard number?
This is all I got off the website.
www.monuc.org
Telephone
Via New York: +1-212 / 963-0103
Via Kinshasa: + 243-81 / 890-6000
Good luck
