Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":122},{"sectionNumber":"7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent","sectionType":"division","heading":"7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria","content":"# Chapter 7: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n| CASR References: | Regulations 139.785 and 139.795 |\n| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |\n\n## Section 7.1: General\n\n### 7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.1.1 Having determined the category of the aerodrome, the category figure is then applied to the Table below which determines the minimum amount of water and discharge rate of produced foam required as well as the minimum amount and discharge rate of complementary agent.\n\n```html\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width:482.75pt;

Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":126},{"sectionNumber":"7.1.1.4 Foam concentrate of different ty","sectionType":"subdivision","heading":"7.1.1.4 Foam concentrate of different types or from a different manufacturer must not be mixed except where it has been established that they are interchangeable and compatable.","content":"# Chapter 7: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n| CASR References: | Regulations 139.785 and 139.795 |\n| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |\n\n## Section 7.1: General\n\n### 7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.1.1 Having determined the category of the aerodrome, the category figure is then applied to the Table below which determines the minimum amount of water and discharge rate of produced foam required as well as the minimum amount and discharge rate of complementary agent.\n\n```html\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width:482.75pt;

The amount of foam concentrate should be sufficient to supply at least two full tank loads of water.\n\n#### 7.1.1.4 Foam concentrate of different types or from a different manufacturer must not be mixed except where it has been established that they are interchangeable and compatable.\n\n#### 7.1.1.5 The ARFFS provider may, with CASA approval, substitute extra complementary agent in place of water capacity in accordance with the ICAO formula in Annex 14, Chapter 9.\n\n#### 7.1.1.6 For aerodrome categories 1 and 2:\n\n##### (a) for up to 100% of water, a complementary agent may be substituted; and\n\n##### (b) for the purposes of the substitution, 1 kg of complementary agent equals 1 L of water, to produce foam meeting performance level A under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n### 7.1.2 Fire Extinguisher Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.2.1 After any allowed substitution of complementary agent for water under paragraph 7.1.1.5, the substitution ratio must be carefully checked by the ARFFS provider for the aerodrome, to ensure the foam solution meets the relevant performance level under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.2 CASA must be advised of the performance level foam to be used as well as providing a manufacturers certificate verifying that the foam achieves the Standard specified. Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":129},{"sectionNumber":"(a) for up to 100% of water, a complemen","sectionType":"section","heading":"(a) for up to 100% of water, a complementary agent may be substituted;

The amount of foam concentrate should be sufficient to supply at least two full tank loads of water.\n\n#### 7.1.1.4 Foam concentrate of different types or from a different manufacturer must not be mixed except where it has been established that they are interchangeable and compatable.\n\n#### 7.1.1.5 The ARFFS provider may, with CASA approval, substitute extra complementary agent in place of water capacity in accordance with the ICAO formula in Annex 14, Chapter 9.\n\n#### 7.1.1.6 For aerodrome categories 1 and 2:\n\n##### (a) for up to 100% of water, a complementary agent may be substituted; and\n\n##### (b) for the purposes of the substitution, 1 kg of complementary agent equals 1 L of water, to produce foam meeting performance level A under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n### 7.1.2 Fire Extinguisher Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.2.1 After any allowed substitution of complementary agent for water under paragraph 7.1.1.5, the substitution ratio must be carefully checked by the ARFFS provider for the aerodrome, to ensure the foam solution meets the relevant performance level under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.2 CASA must be advised of the performance level foam to be used as well as providing a manufacturers certificate verifying that the foam achieves the Standard specified. Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":130},{"sectionNumber":"(b) for the purposes of the substitution","sectionType":"section","heading":"(b) for the purposes of the substitution, 1 kg of complementary agent equals 1 L of water, to produce foam meeting performance level A under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.","content":"# Chapter 7: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n| CASR References: | Regulations 139.785 and 139.795 |\n| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |\n\n## Section 7.1: General\n\n### 7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.1.1 Having determined the category of the aerodrome, the category figure is then applied to the Table below which determines the minimum amount of water and discharge rate of produced foam required as well as the minimum amount and discharge rate of complementary agent.\n\n```html\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width:482.75pt;

Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":131},{"sectionNumber":"7.1.2 Fire Extinguisher Agent Performanc","sectionType":"division","heading":"7.1.2 Fire Extinguisher Agent Performance Criteria","content":"# Chapter 7: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n| CASR References: | Regulations 139.785 and 139.795 |\n| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |\n\n## Section 7.1: General\n\n### 7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.1.1 Having determined the category of the aerodrome, the category figure is then applied to the Table below which determines the minimum amount of water and discharge rate of produced foam required as well as the minimum amount and discharge rate of complementary agent.\n\n```html\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width:482.75pt;

The amount of foam concentrate should be sufficient to supply at least two full tank loads of water.\n\n#### 7.1.1.4 Foam concentrate of different types or from a different manufacturer must not be mixed except where it has been established that they are interchangeable and compatable.\n\n#### 7.1.1.5 The ARFFS provider may, with CASA approval, substitute extra complementary agent in place of water capacity in accordance with the ICAO formula in Annex 14, Chapter 9.\n\n#### 7.1.1.6 For aerodrome categories 1 and 2:\n\n##### (a) for up to 100% of water, a complementary agent may be substituted; and\n\n##### (b) for the purposes of the substitution, 1 kg of complementary agent equals 1 L of water, to produce foam meeting performance level A under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n### 7.1.2 Fire Extinguisher Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.2.1 After any allowed substitution of complementary agent for water under paragraph 7.1.1.5, the substitution ratio must be carefully checked by the ARFFS provider for the aerodrome, to ensure the foam solution meets the relevant performance level under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.2 CASA must be advised of the performance level foam to be used as well as providing a manufacturers certificate verifying that the foam achieves the Standard specified. Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":135},{"sectionNumber":"7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monit","sectionType":"subdivision","heading":"7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.","content":"# Chapter 7: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n| CASR References: | Regulations 139.785 and 139.795 |\n| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |\n\n## Section 7.1: General\n\n### 7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.1.1 Having determined the category of the aerodrome, the category figure is then applied to the Table below which determines the minimum amount of water and discharge rate of produced foam required as well as the minimum amount and discharge rate of complementary agent.\n\n```html\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width:482.75pt;

Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":136},{"sectionNumber":"7.1.2.5 Further information for level of","sectionType":"subdivision","heading":"7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.","content":"# Chapter 7: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n| CASR References: | Regulations 139.785 and 139.795 |\n| ---------------- | ------------------------------- |\n\n## Section 7.1: General\n\n### 7.1.1 Standard: Fire Extinguishing Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.1.1 Having determined the category of the aerodrome, the category figure is then applied to the Table below which determines the minimum amount of water and discharge rate of produced foam required as well as the minimum amount and discharge rate of complementary agent.\n\n```html\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width:482.75pt;

The amount of foam concentrate should be sufficient to supply at least two full tank loads of water.\n\n#### 7.1.1.4 Foam concentrate of different types or from a different manufacturer must not be mixed except where it has been established that they are interchangeable and compatable.\n\n#### 7.1.1.5 The ARFFS provider may, with CASA approval, substitute extra complementary agent in place of water capacity in accordance with the ICAO formula in Annex 14, Chapter 9.\n\n#### 7.1.1.6 For aerodrome categories 1 and 2:\n\n##### (a) for up to 100% of water, a complementary agent may be substituted; and\n\n##### (b) for the purposes of the substitution, 1 kg of complementary agent equals 1 L of water, to produce foam meeting performance level A under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n### 7.1.2 Fire Extinguisher Agent Performance Criteria\n\n#### 7.1.2.1 After any allowed substitution of complementary agent for water under paragraph 7.1.1.5, the substitution ratio must be carefully checked by the ARFFS provider for the aerodrome, to ensure the foam solution meets the relevant performance level under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.2 CASA must be advised of the performance level foam to be used as well as providing a manufacturers certificate verifying that the foam achieves the Standard specified. Ref: ICAO Airport Service Manual, Part 1, Rescue and Fire Fighting, Extinguishing Agent Characteristics, Chapter 8, para, 8.1.5 and Table 8-1.\n\n#### 7.1.2.3 The foam discharge monitors must be aspirated and have an effective discharge range at least equal to the length of the longest aircraft normally used in determining the aerodrome ARFFS category and have the capability to deliver foam in a dispersed pattern.\n\n#### 7.1.2.4 Vehicles may employ mobile monitor mode operations and /or extendible monitors to assist in or to meet these requirements, subject to a satisfactory demonstration of its ability to CASA.\n\n#### 7.1.2.5 Further information for level of protection and categorisation can be found in ICAO, Airport Services Manual, Part 1, Chapter 2.\n\n### 7.1.3 Reserve Stock of Fire Fighting Agent\n\n#### 7.1.3.1 A reserve supply of foam concentrate, and complementary agent, with its associated propellant gas cylinders (each being a fire extinguishing agent) must be maintained at an aerodrome, in accordance with paragraph 7.1.3.1A, to replenish the quantities of the fire extinguishing agents prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1A For paragraph 7.1.3.1, the reserve supply must be as follows:\n\n##### (a) for foam concentrate — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the foam concentrate required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (b) subject to subparagraph (c), for complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders — equivalent to 100% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1;\n\n##### (c) for aerodrome categories 1 and 2, for which up to 100% of water has been substituted with complementary agent under paragraph 7.1.1.6 — equivalent to 200% of the quantity of the complementary agent, with its associated propellent gas cylinders, prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1.\n\n7.1.3.1B Any quantity of foam concentrate carried on fire fighting vehicles, which is more than that required to make the foam solution prescribed for the relevant aerodrome category under the Table in paragraph 7.1.1.1, may contribute to meeting the reserve supply percentage mentioned in subparagraph 7.1.3.1A (a).\n\n7.1.3.1C If a delay of more than 7 days is reasonably anticipated in replenishing the quantity of any fire extinguishing agent, to meet the reserve supply percentage mentioned in paragraph 7.1.3.1A, the quantity of the reserve supply of the agent must be reasonably increased to allow for the delay.\n\n#### 7.1.3.2 Apart from a domestic water supply, sufficient supplementary water supply must be readily available to replenish fire vehicles. A hydrant system with delivery outlets consistent with the requirements of the ARFFS and local fire brigade must be provided for at the aerodrome fire station.\n\n#### 7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles. The hydrants must be easily accessible and identified in the ARFFS SOPs.\n\n#### 7.1.3.4 Mobile water tankers may be utilised, provided they are readily available and meet the minimum flow rate.","sortOrder":143},{"sectionNumber":"7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of ","sectionType":"subdivision","heading":"7.1.3.3 Hydrants with a minimum flow of 30 l/s must be available for the refilling of emergency fire service vehicles.

It harmonises Australian practice with international aviation safety requirements while allowing CASA to set stricter local standards where needed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/manual-of-standards-part-139h-standards-applicable-to-the-provision-of-aerodrome-rescue-and-fire-fig","history":"/api/acts/manual-of-standards-part-139h-standards-applicable-to-the-provision-of-aerodrome-rescue-and-fire-fig/history","analysis":"/api/acts/manual-of-standards-part-139h-standards-applicable-to-the-provision-of-aerodrome-rescue-and-fire-fig/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/manual-of-standards-part-139h-standards-applicable-to-the-provision-of-aerodrome-rescue-and-fire-fig/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/manual-of-standards-part-139h-standards-applicable-to-the-provision-of-aerodrome-rescue-and-fire-fig/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/manual-of-standards-part-139h-standards-applicable-to-the-provision-of-aerodrome-rescue-and-fire-fig/documents"}}
