DFW into an ARFF testing facility. He showed a
video of field tests of the Pyrolance, a new penetrating
nozzle that quickly drilled its way into car bodies, a light airplane,
a widebody fuselage, a cinder block, and a cargo
container.
Other systems and devices intended to suppress or extinguish
an onboard fire don’t directly relate to cargo ARFF.
However, they can be critically important not only in increasing
the flight crew’s chances of getting an airplane with an
onboard fire safely on the ground, but also increasing the
driver, a ½-inch socket, and a drive wrench, because the
locking bolt must be rotated 115 turns to open the door.
On the other hand, if the drive wrench spins faster than
500 rpm, it may strip the bolt.
Mathis stressed that firefighters need this kind of specific
information, the right tools, and regular hands-on practice at
performing such tasks that are unique to fighting cargo fires.
New technology
Some encouraging developments are under way to improve
ARFF technology.
DFW’s McKinney said that his department was trying to
chances that the airplane’s occupants will escape the burning
airplane and that the ARFF personnel will be able to contain
the fire and reduce the overall damage.
Wells described FedEx’s tests of a pallet blanket that can
be draped over a cargo pallet to greatly retard spread of a
pallet fire by denying oxygen to the flames. FedEx also has
tested an overhead main-deck active fire-suppression system
that looks very promising.
The role of Congress
But what about the fundamental disconnect—that no ARFF
is mandatory for all-cargo operations, even those with airplanes
as large as B-747s, at U.S. airports?
Several pilot participants in the Symposium stressed that
this situation will not change until Congress changes U.S.
Code 44706—a law you have probably never heard of, but
which supercedes FAA regulations. So until U.S. Code 44706
changes, airport certification, Part 139 applicability, and the
ARFF index apply only to passenger airliners.
In opening the ALPA Cargo ARFF Symposium, the
Association’s President, Capt. John Prater, declared, “We
plan on using whatever strength and power we have to do
whatever we can to correct the problems” with cargo ARFF.
“If it means going to the Congress—the slow approach—we
won’t shy away.”
Welcome news to the pilots in the room, though no one
expects these issues to be resolved overnight. After all,
ALPA’s dogged work to require certification standards for
airports with passenger service (FAR Part 139) spanned
35 years. Perhaps bringing the air cargo world up to the
same standards won’t take quite as long.
However long it takes, ALPA and the President’s Committee
for Cargo are in this for the long haul.
