AdvisoryU.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation CircularAdministration Subject: Guide Specification for Date: 6/01/2011 AC No.: 150/5220-10E Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Initiated by: AAS-100 Change: (ARFF) Vehicles 1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC) provides an interactive specification that airports can use in procuring Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) vehicles. 2. SCOPE. The three main phases of the ARFF vehicle procurement process are presented in this AC, including the: a. Description of the vehicle selection process; b. Selection of vehicle requirements; and c. Production of a formal specification. This AC contains information based on the minimum ARFF vehicle requirements established by Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports. The AC is also based on the FAA additions, exemptions, or amendments made to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 414, Standard for Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicles (2007 Edition) (as referenced in Appendix A of this document) and NFPA 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus (2009 Edition). Only ARFF vehicles and associated vehicle training equipment are discussed in this AC. Other related items, such as the communications equipment, tools, and clothing used in fire fighting, are not covered. However, that information can be found in other guidance material, such as AC 150/5210-14, Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Equipment, Tools, and Clothing. 3. APPLICATION. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends the guidance and specifications in this AC for procuring ARFF vehicles. In general, use of this AC is not mandatory. However, use of this AC is mandatory for the acquisition of ARFF vehicles through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) or Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program. See Grant Assurance No. 34, Policies, Standards, and Specifications, and PFC Assurance No. 9, Standards and Specifications. For certificated airports, in the event of a conflict, Part 139 takes precedence over all other documents identified in the AC. Features or design details not listed as required or optional in this document are not considered necessary. For any options requested by the user that require justification, the appropriate text must be entered in the space provided for FAA Airport District Office (ADO) or Regional staff review and approval. If there are no additions, exceptions or amendments noted, then the standards of NFPA 414 are applicable. AC 150/5220-10E 6/01/2011 4. CANCELLATION. AC 150/5220-10D, Guide Specification for Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicles, dated September 24, 2007, is cancelled. 5. PRINCIPAL CHANGES. This AC represents a complete revision to the approach used to develop an ARFF vehicle procurement specification. The previous version of this AC contained only the FAA additions, exemptions, or amendments to NFPA 414. While that information is retained in this AC (now located in Appendix A), the main chapters now provide a description of the procurement process and contain an interactive portable document format (PDF) that airports can use to enter information and print a complete procurement specification. In addition, two types of vehicle training devices available to ARFF personnel have been incorporated in Appendix B. These include the Aircraft Skin Penetration Device and the Computer Based Simulation Training System. 6.

THE VEHICLE SELECTION PROCESS 1.1. GENERAL. This chapter provides an overview of the ARFF vehicle selection process. As shown in Figure 1-1, the considerations and requirements outlined in this chapter will be used to enter the appropriate information in Chapter 2 (vehicle procurement worksheets) which provides the corresponding output in Chapter 3 (vehicle procurement specifications).

Advisory Circular (AC) Flowchart 1.2. BACKGROUND. ARFF vehicles are designed to provide an invaluable service to the commercial and private airline industry and the passengers and cargo they transport. The airline industry is reliant on prompt and effective fire and rescue services during aircraft emergencies. These services include fire containment and suppression, passenger and crew rescue, airframe and cargo preservation, and maintenance of the site to aid in after-incident investigations. The vehicles that airport fire departments employ serve as the medium to deliver fire fighters, specialized tools and equipment, and fire fighting agents to the scene of an aircraft incident. They must be designed to perform specific functions, constructed for longevity and ease of maintenance, and tailored to the airport’s needs. 1.3. ARFF VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS. The requirements for ARFF vehicles to transport a specific quantity(ies) and type(s) of fire fighting agents are established by Title 14 CFR Part 139.317, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting: Equipment and Agents. A decision logic tree has been developed (figure 1-2) which identifies an airport index and provides the user a graphic of the decision process concerning what vehicles an airport must have as a minimum: specifically, what vehicles and agents are required by an airport’s index. However, there are options in Part 139.317 that allow flexibility in the configuration of fire fighting vehicle agent delivery systems. These options include a selection of the type of dry chemical agent (sodium versus potassium-based), quantity by type of dry chemical agent (500 pounds versus 450 pounds), use of a halogenated agent in lieu of dry chemical, and a minimum of 100 gallons water/Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF). 1 Figure 1-2.

There are four (4) basic steps to establish and validate requirements for an ARFF (1) Step 1. Determine the need to replace an existing vehicle or procure a new vehicle. Refer to paragraph 1.4. (2) Step 2. Determine the ARFF airport index. Consult paragraph 1.5 of this AC and Title 14 CFR Part 139.315, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting: Index Determination. (3) Step 3. Determine the fire fighting vehicle agent requirements. paragraph 1.6 of this AC and Title 14 CFR Part 139.317. Consult (4) Step 4. Determine the ARFF vehicle requirements based on Steps (1), (2), and (3) above by consulting paragraph 1.7 and Chapter 2 of this AC (which are based on NFPA 414 and Appendix A of this AC). 1.4. STEP 1 – DETERMINING REPLACEMENT NEED. The manufacturers of fire fighting apparatus and fire departments do not have hard and fast rules as to when a vehicle must be replaced. However, the fire equipment manufacturing industry does develop, as part of their customer service focus, forecast models based on life expectancy and life cycle operating and maintenance costs. These models predict hours of operation, mileage, material wear and longevity, and operating costs. On average, an ARFF vehicle normally has a 10-12 year service life and, in many cases, even longer based on an airports’ level of activity. The following items should be considered as relevant factors when considering fire fighting vehicle replacement. a. Reliability and serviceability is questionable. b. Parts for repair (including after-market) are no longer available. c. Annual operating cost becomes excessive. d. Service life has been extended beyond the vehicle’s normal field service life. e. Repair cost exceeds 75% of the current estimated value of the apparatus. f. Introduction of new and different aircraft to the airport which changes the airport index. g. Relative overall age of the airport fire fighting vehicle fleet to allow for programmed replacement over a span of years. 1.5. STEP 2 – DETERMINING AIRPORT INDEX. The document used to determine an airport’s index is: Title 14 CFR Part 139.315. 3 AC 150/5220-10E 6/01/2011 a. An airport index is determined by a combination of two factors. These include: (1) The length of air carrier aircraft. (2) The average daily departures of air carrier aircraft. (a) If there are five or more average daily departures of air carrier aircraft in a single Index group serving that airport, the longest Index group with an average of five or more daily departures is the Index required for the airport. (b) If there are less than five average daily departures of air carrier aircraft in a single Index group serving that airport, the next lower Index from the longest Index group with air carrier aircraft in it is the Index required for the airport. The minimum designated Index will be Index A. b. Air carrier aircraft are grouped by length to determine an airports' index as described below and illustrated in figure 1-3: (1) Index A includes aircraft less than 90 feet in length. (2) Index B includes aircraft at least 90 feet but less than 126 feet in length. (3) Index C includes aircraft at least 126 feet but less than 159 feet in length. (4) Index D includes aircraft at least 159 feet but less than 200 feet in length. (5) Index E includes aircraft at least 200 feet in length. Airport Index Index A <90 feet Index B 90><126 Index C 126><159 Index D 159><200 Index E >200 Figure 1-3. Airport Index and Fuselage Lengths c. Table 1-1 provides a general sampling of various aircraft and the indices they are assigned based on their respective lengths. The list is not all inclusive and is provided to serve as an example only. To ensure accuracy, consult with the airport operator and airlines to obtain aircraft design drawing lengths. 4 6/01/2011 AC 150/5220-10E Table 1-1.

STEP 3 – DETERMINING AGENT REQUIREMENTS. The minimum levels of fire fighting agents by type and quantity within a vehicle system to support a specific airport index are addressed in Title 14 CFR Part 139.317. The FAA’s standardized ARFF vehicle classifications are Classes 1 through 5. These classifications segregate vehicles by the type of fire fighting agent employed on the vehicle and the vehicle’s agent carrying capacity. 5 AC 150/5220-10E 6/01/2011 a. Types of Fire Fighting Agents. There are five (5) types of fire fighting agents (either as a single agent or in combination with another agent) that are carried on ARFF vehicles. These agents can include: (1) Sodium-based dry chemical. (2) Potassium-based dry chemical. (3) Halogenated (gaseous clean agents). (4) Water/AFFF. Each ARFF vehicle is designed to be capable of carrying and delivering the specific types of fire fighting agents cited above either as a stand alone system or complementary to one another. The types of agents are based on their respective extinguishing effectiveness and compatibility to complement each other, hence the term “complementary agent.” b. Vehicle Agent Carrying Capacity. The agent carrying and delivery capability of an ARFF vehicle is limited to several factors. These include chassis design, drive train, axle capacity, fire fighting systems, and the manufacturer’s capability to provide either a commercial or custom produced ARFF vehicle. Refer to Table 1-2 for summaries of the five (5) classes of ARFF vehicles and the fire fighting agent requirements for each class of vehicle. 6 6/01/2011 AC 150/5220-10E Table 1-2. Airport Index and Vehicle Class Requirements VEHICLE CLASS AIRPORT INDEX CLASS 1 100 Gallon Water/AFFF, and Dry Chemical (500 lbs sodium- or 450 potassium- based), or Halogenated Agent (460 lbs) (Note 1) CLASS 2 300 Gallon Water/AFFF, and Dry Chemical (500 lbs sodium- or 450 potassium- based), or Halogenated Agent (460 lbs) (Note 1 CLASS 3 500 Gallon Water/AFFF, and Dry Chemical (500 lbs sodium- or 450 potassium- based), or Halogenated Agent (460 lbs) (Note 1) CLASS 4 1500 Gallon Water/AFFF CLASS 5 3000-4500 Gallon Water/AFFF (Note 1) A 1 In lieu of Class 1 In lieu of Class 1 or 2 N/A N/A B 1 In lieu of Class 1 In lieu of Class 1 or 2 1 (Note 2) N/A C 1 In lieu of Class 1 In lieu of Class 1 or 2 2 D 1 In lieu of Class 1 In lieu of Class 1 or 2 1 1 E 1 In lieu of Class 1 In lieu of Class 1 or 2 2 NOTE 1: For Index A-E, a Class 1, 2, or 3 vehicle is required (see Note 2 for exception). NOTE 2: If the Class 4 vehicle has Dry Chemical/Halogenated agent, a Class 1 vehicle is not required for an Index B Airport. If the Class 4/5 vehicle does not have Dry Chemical /Halogenated agent, a Class 1 vehicle is required. 1.7. STEP 4 – DETERMINING VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS. The specifications contained in Appendices A through E were developed using NFPA 414 as the baseline and were cross referenced to the additions, exceptions, and amendments contained in Appendix A of this AC. NFPA 414, Chapter 4, ARFF Vehicles and Chapter 6, Acceptance Criteria, address vehicle performance. The five (5) specifications aligned to the five (5) vehicle classifications, are generic in nature, describe vehicles’ performance requirements and are not name brand product specific. Each contains a series of interactive worksheets that allows the user to select a requirement block that populates the document based on those choices. The five (5) specifications are as follows: a. CLASS 1 ARFF Vehicle. This Procurement Specification (PS) covers a commercially produced 4-wheel drive diesel engine driven ARFF vehicle for an Index A through E airport. It includes the choice of a vehicle with a minimum 500 pound (lb) sodium or 450 pound (lb) potassium-based Dry Chemical system, or 460 lb Halogenated Agent system, with 7 AC 150/5220-10E 6/01/2011 100 gallon (gal) water/AFFF. The water/AFFF may be in separate tanks, pre-mixed and contained in one pressurized tank, or supplemented with a Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS). b. CLASS 2 ARFF Vehicle. This PS covers a commercially produced 4-wheel drive diesel engine driven ARFF vehicle for an Index A through E airport.

INTERACTIVE PROCUREMENT SPECIFICATION - INPUT 2.1. GENERAL. Chapter 3 contains specifications for Class 1 through 5 ARFF vehicles. Those specifications are preceded by interactive worksheets in this chapter that are designed to allow the user to select options and provide inputs to the specifications based on their requirements. The corresponding specification will be populated automatically based on the item selections and inputs. For example, the worksheets in paragraph 2.2 populate the Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 specifications. The document has been aligned to the performance requirements of NFPA 414 and incorporates the amended criteria of Appendix A. Specifically, all the options that are allowed by the FAA are included. When an option requires justification, text must be provided by the user for the Airport District Office (ADO) review and approval. It should be noted that this document will serve as the baseline for submission of AIP funded vehicles – thus it is a specification for a commercially available vehicle without extraneous items that an airport may fund on its own. Extraneous items requested by an airport cannot be used in determining the low responsive bidder when AIP or PFC funding is used. Follow the process in Figure 2-1 to produce the required specifications.
