Chapter 9 Emergency and Other Services
9.1.1 Emergency plans such as those specified in this section are required only at airports serving scheduled air carriers using aircraft having more than 30 seats. These airports are certificated under 14 CFR Part 139. In practice, other airports also prepare emergency plans.
9.1.12 Full.scale airport emergency exercises are conducted at intervals, not to exceed three years, at airports with scheduled passenger service using aircraft with more than 30 seats.
9.2.1 Rescue and fire fighting equipment and services such as those specified in this section are required only at airports serving scheduled air carriers in aircraft having more than 30 seats. Such airports generally equate to ICAO categories 4 through 9. Other airports have varying degrees of services and equipment.
9.2.3* There is no plan to eliminate, after 1 January 2005, the current practice of permitting a reduction of one category in the index when the largest aircraft has fewer than an average of five scheduled departures a day.
9.2.4 9.2.5 The level of protection at U.S. airports is derived from the length of the largest aircraft serving the airport similar to the Annex’s procedure, except that maximum fuselage width is not used. U.S. indices A.E are close equivalents of the Annex’s categories 5.9. The U.S. does not have an equivalent to category 10.
