8 ARFF Training Trends 45 Discrepancies took place at 40 (8%) different Part 139 Airports. Nitrogen Bottle on was showing a pressure of Zero PSI 1 airport with no training for 3 yrs., no fire for 1.5 yrs. exceeded the 12 month period in 4 subject areas did not receive training on Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Personnel Safety within the past 12 consecutive calendar months repetitive lapses in ARFF training and record keeping ARFF was unable to meet the 3 minute required response during the initial drill. A second timed response was conducted and failed Federal Aviation 8

9 ARFF Training Trends (cont.) A record of all training must be created and kept for 24 consecutive calendar months The airport failed the time response 2 during this inspection. The first time was due to driver confusion All rescue and firefighting personnel must be trained prior to initial performance of rescue and firefighting duties and receive recurrent instruction every 12 consecutive calendar months (CCM). There were ARFF personnel who exceeded the 12 CCM training requirement While ARFF personnel are receiving training on all required subject areas, they did miss training in each subject area every 12 consecutive calendar months due to a misunderstanding of the requirement. unable to demonstrate proficiency donning protective bunker gear and self-contained breathing apparatus within the 2 minutes Federal Aviation 9
