Concept Study: Feasibility of Characterizing Airfield Fire Hazards and of Developing Assignment Criteria for Fire Suppression Resources.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a project that was undertaken to correlate aircraft fire hazards aground with some quantified airfield parameters involving aircraft operations. The objectives of this study were to explore the feasibility of: (1) correlating aircraft accident/incident history data with airfield operations data in order to characterize aircraft fire hazards which exist in aircraft operations on airfields and (2) developing the criteria needed to assign crash fire suppression equipment to airfields in a manner that reflects the level of an aircraft fire hazard which exists at a given airfield and the capability of specific equipment to deal with the hazards that actually exist.
