Airfield Parameter Study and Categorization System Related to Aircraft Ground Fire Suppression and Rescue.

Abstract

This report presents a discussion of the characteristics of airfields/helicopter pads which are related to the aircraft ground fire suppression and rescue (AGFSR) operation at DoD installations. The basic elements of the AGFSR system are described and a plan for rating airfields/helicopter pads according to their AGFSR needs is presented. The principal factor in the system is the maximum representative fuel fire area which is a direct function of aircraft fuel capacity.
