Proposed amendments to Part 139H MOS – Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Services - (CD 2501AS)

Allow inshore rescue boats not to be housed under cover subject to consideration given to manufacturer operating and maintenance recommendations, local environmental conditions, national/local regulatory requirements, vessel location and response requirements.

Policy Aim

Requiring inshore rescue boats to be housed under cover is not directly linked to operational performance of the rescue boats. Removing this requirement would enable the Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Service provider to determine the housing of difficult terrain vessels.

Question: Do you agree with allowing inshore rescue boats to not be housed under cover subject to the conditions mentioned in the proposed policy?
