AIRLINE FIRE CAT vs. AIRPORTS´

[BESTGLIDESPEED]

I was wondering...

As almost none of my airline´s destination or alternate aerodromes of operation coincide with those airfields´ fire categories supposed to be at or above the fleet´s , ....

besides the ICAO´S Annex 14 stating all SARP´S and RECOMMENDED PRACTICES for the AERODROMES to comply with in order to be able to offer a certain fire fighting category to any same or lower rated category aircraft ;

Where can I find ( if such documentation exists ) the same SARP´s but , analogally, related to AIRLINES supposed conduct of the operation of their fleets according to the above related cat´s ?



Is it stated that operating BELOW the aerodrome´s fire fighting cat is allowed ?


:confused:

It is stated that you are required to check that the services at the airport are adequate. It does not give a guideline as to what is adequate.

In my airline, we must have a fire cat. equat to our a/c category for scheduled destinations.
We can go one category lower for alternates and single ad-hoc flights, explaining this as the frequency of movements will be less.

OK.

That helps dieseldude.
