RESCUE AND FIREFIGHTING SERVICES (RFFS)

When considering the adequacy of an aerodrome’s rescue and firefighting services (RFFS), the operator should:

(a) as part of its management system, assess the level of RFFS protection available at the aerodrome intended to be specified in the operational flight plan in order to ensure that an acceptable level of protection is available for the intended operation; and

(b) include relevant information related to the RFFS protection that is deemed acceptable by the operator in the operations manual.

GM Guidance material

## GM1 CAT.OP.MPA.107 Adequate aerodrome

VERIFICATION OF WEATHER CONDITIONS

This GM clarifies the difference between ‘[adequate aerodrome](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/adequate-aerodrome)’ and ‘[weather-permissible aerodrome](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/weather-permissible-aerodrome)’. The two concepts are complementary:

‘adequate aerodrome’: see definition in Annex I (Definitions for terms used in Annexes II to VIII) and point CAT.OP.MPA.107 of Annex IV (Part-CAT) to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012; and ‘weather-permissible aerodrome’ means an adequate aerodrome with additional requirements: see definition in Annex I (Definitions for terms used in Annexes II to VIII).

Weather conditions are not required to be considered at an adequate aerodrome.
