Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting 

(ARFF) Mobile Live Fire Training 

Simulators

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of policy.

SUMMARY: The FAA issues regulations 

and prescribes standards for the training 

of aircraft rescue and fire fighters 

(ARFF) on United States airports 

certificated under 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations part 139. One of the 

requirements of part 139 is for all ARFF 

personnel to participate in at least one 

live-fire drill every 12 months. As 

guidance for airport operators in 

providing this training, the FAA issued 

standards for different size fire training 

facilities based on the largest air carrier 

aircraft serving the airport. With the 

introduction of new technologies, ARFF 

personnel have had the option to train 

on both mobile as well as fixed training 

facilities. The FAA published a Notice 

of Proposed Policy: Request for 

Comments in the Federal Register on 

September 18, 2003 at 68 FR 54772, 

seeking public comment on whether we 

should allow firefighters at Index C, D, 

and E airports to meet the § 139.319 

requirements using the mobile trainers 

every year. As a result of the comments 

received, FAA’s policy is being 

modified to accept mobile simulators for 

2 years for Index C, D, and E airports 

holding a Class I airport operating 

certificate. Every third year, these 

airport fire departments will be required 

to attend a large fixed facility to learn 

about new technologies and procedures 

and to gain experience fighting a larger 

pit fire than the mobile simulators can 

duplicate. Class I airports that are Index 

A and B and Class II, III, and IV airports 

may continue to use the mobile trainer 

every year to meet the 14 CFR part 139 

requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 1988 

revision of 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations part 139, Certification and 

Operations: Land Airports Serving 

Certain Air Carriers, section 

139.319(j)(3) requires ‘‘All rescue and 

fire fighting personnel participate in at 

least one live fire drill every 12 

months.’’ 52 FR 44276 (Nov. 18, 1997) 

(effective Jan. 1, 1988). At the time this 

rule was promulgated, hydrocarbon 

fuels, such as diesel or jet-A, fueled the 

training facilities. In the early 1990s, 

Federal and State environmental 

protection agencies began banning such 

facilities because of ground 

contamination from the fuel. As a result, 

the FAA assisted in developing Liquid 

Propane Gas (LPG) fired facilities. The 

FAA funded these facilities throughout 

the country. The FAA refers to them as 

regional training facilities because, 

mostly, they were intended to serve an 

area of more than one state. The aim 

was for a fire fighter to travel to the 

nearest training facility and receive both 

classroom and live fire training. FAA’s 

position has been that all ARFF 

personnel should be exposed to live
