Description

Provides guidance for the selection of a water source and standards for the design of a distribution system to support aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) service operations on airports.

The AC was cancelled for the following reason. The primary reference upon which the document is based, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 419 - Guide for Master Planning Airport Water Supply Systems for Fire Protection, was cancelled in 1996. The relevant information from that specification has been inserted in other NFPA standards. Therefore, the AC is no longer necessary as water supply safety is ensured through a variety of other guidance material used by airport operators and architectural and engineering firms.
