AIRLINE FIRE CAT vs. AIRPORTS´
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 ?
THX

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.
