FAA PGL 17-01: Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Equipment Above Minimum Part 139 Index Requirements

Details

Abstract: This program guidance letter (PGL) establishes a process by which an FAA Region may consider (and the Washington headquarters may approve or disapprove) an airport operator's request for AIP funding in support of ARFF equipment (and, by extension, supporting facilities) beyond the minimum requirements set forth in Part 139. Because the FAA established the minimum ARFF requirements under Part 139 to protect the safety of the traveling public, the FAA has developed this process to ensure that under unusual circumstances, additional ARFF equipment might qualify for additional consideration.
