Oban Aerodrome Manual Part 3 Ver7.5 Reviewed Oct 14 - Uncontrolled if printed
1. RFFS LICENSING REQUIREMENT
In accordance with Condition 2 of the Aerodrome Licence , no aircraft required
to use a licensed aerodrome shall take‐off or land at Oban Airport unless such
fire fighting and rescue services and such medical services and equipment as
required in respect of such an aircraft in accordance with CAP 168 and CAP
699 are provided.
2. POLICY
It is Oban Airport Policy to provide RFFS Category 2. RFF Cat 3 will be
available, using the remission factor permitted by CAP 168 Chapter 8. RFF
equipment, facilities and training will meet and where possible exceed the
minimum standards for operations at Low Category Aerodromes as detailed in
CAP 168 and CAP 699.
3. FIRE CATEGORY
Oban Airport is Fire Category 2 and provides RFF Cat 3 aircraft under the
CAP 168 remission arrangement.
The Duty Watch Commander is familiar with category requirements.
The staffing arrangements at the Airport are such that the Duty AFISO will
automatically be aware of any change of Fire Category availability.
The Oban Manual of RFFS details the minimum accommodation,
equipment, personnel and media required to operate the RFFS.
4. DEPLETION
In the event that Oban Airport is unable to meet the standards required for RFF
Category 2, aircraft operators and pilots will be informed and the appropriate
NOTAM action will be taken.
5. FLIGHTS NOT REQUIRED TO USE A LICENSED FACILITY
Freight aircraft, ambulance flights or movements not required to use a licensed
facility will be provided with the highest available RFF Category subject to prior
notification. The aircraft operator may decide that a particular RFF Category is
required and the Airport Authority will declare whether or not this can be made
available before accepting such a movement.

Part 3 Technical Information 5 - 2 Section 5 Rescue and Fire Fighting Services
Oban Aerodrome Manual Part 3 Ver7.5 Reviewed Oct 14 - Uncontrolled if printed
Ambulance flights may operate into Oban Airport at times when it is not
promulgated as available to other movements. At this time such flights are by
helicopter only.
6. SUPERVISION and ACCOUNTABILITY
The Station Manager is accountable for the RFF function and further details of
his accountabilities are detailed in Part 5 of the Aerodrome Manual.
The Duty Crew Commander is to be qualified with, as a minimum, a Certificate
of Competence as Supervisor.
The Crew Commanders are competent to act as Low Category Airport
Supervisor [LCAS] and will be an integral part of the manning level for RFF Cat
1 and Cat 2 aircraft movements.
7. EXTRANEOUS DUTIES
During aircraft operations, RFF personnel may assist with additional non-RFF
duties providing that the response times detailed in CAP 168 can be met and
any such additional duties will not add to the risks normally associated with a
‘response’.
In order that any additional duties can be accommodated with other RFF duties,
such additional duties will be managed in a systematic manner. RFF personnel
will always be able to meet response times.
8. EMERGENCY RESPONSE
The Oban Airport Emergency Orders identify the necessary actions to be taken
by RFF personnel for the various categories of emergency and standby.
9. 1000m. RESPONSE
Details relating to procedures for accessing up to 1000 metres beyond each
runway threshold can be found in the RFFS ‘1000 Metre Area Assessment’
contained within the Manual of RFFS, Annex ‘B’.
This assessment deals with the response from the RFFS and other emergency
services likely to be responding to an aircraft incident in the 1,000 metre areas.
Part 3 Technical Information 5 - 3 Section 5 Rescue and Fire Fighting Services
Oban Aerodrome Manual Part 3 Ver7.5 Reviewed Oct 14 - Uncontrolled if printed
10. RESPONSES beyond 1000m from the thresholds
In the event of an incident beyond the vicinity of the aerodrome 1000 metre
response area as shown on plan Oban Airport – Airfield Crash Map A1, the
RFFS may be called upon to support the Local Authority response.
This response will be dependent on aircraft movement at the time of the
incident and the decision will ultimately be that of the duty AFISO. In the event
of a response by the RFFS the airport is effectively closed to aircraft requiring
the use of a Licensed Aerodrome for the duration of the incident.
11. ALERTING the RFF
Oban Airport Emergency Orders identify the appropriate method to be used,
according to circumstance, in order to alert the RFF.
A crash alarm, located in the VCR and audible throughout the operational
areas, is available for the most urgent requirements.
Note. The Crash Alarm is tested daily.
The alerting of RFFS personnel, whilst away from the Fire Station engaged
on other duties, or whilst undergoing training, will be by means of UHF radio.
RFFS personnel will ensure that they remain in radio contact with the duty
AFISO at all times when away from the Fire Station using a personal radio.
12. DOMESTIC FIRES and OTHER INCIDENTS
In the event that the RFFS becomes involved with a domestic fire or other
incident that would prevent a full response within the required response time to
an aircraft incident, then the fire category of the airfield will be declared as nil
and the airport will not be available to aircraft requiring the use of a Licensed
Aerodrome, except in an emergency.
In the event of a domestic incident on site the RFFS will respond immediately
with the permission of the duty AFISO to that location with as much resource as
possible.
Part 3 Technical Information 5 - 4 Section 5 Rescue and Fire Fighting Services
Oban Aerodrome Manual Part 3 Ver7.5 Reviewed Oct 14 - Uncontrolled if printed
13. FIRE STATION
The RFFS are based at the Fire Station situated at the north end of the
Terminal. There is one appliance garage where the appliance is stored
overnight. There are vehicle bays in the fire station that have access / egress to
the front of the fire station for small fire appliances. Doors from these bays are
electrically operated. The normal parking location for the Fire Appliance (wash
bay) enables response times to be met to all parts of the aerodrome movement
area.
14. EQUIPMENT and MEDIA AVAILABILITY
All equipment, media and the appliance conform to CAP168 (App 8B).
Details are to be found in the Oban Manual of RFFS.
15. WATER SUPPLIES
There is one hydrant located by the Fire Station plus four hydrants equally
spaced along the runway edge. Static water supplies of 24,000 litres are
located adjacent to the runway at Map References Foxtrot 8 and Echo 11.
These locations are indicated on the site map of the airport, which has been
issued to all Strathclyde Emergency Services. The site map is also
incorporated into Strathclyde Fire and Rescue’s Mobile Vehicle Data System,
which can be accessed via the computer system, carried on all their
appliances.
The Airport ‘Water Assessment’ identifies the requirement for the provision of
large and continuous supplies of water that can be delivered to an incident site
in the vicinity of the runway and its environs. In practice this will be achieved by
utilizing all water resources within the area and the assessment has identified
the requirements to supply a water relay system. This requirement will be
internally audited by Oban Airport by periodically carrying out exercises with the
Rescue and Fire Fighting Service and Strathclyde Fire and Rescue to highlight
and resolve any difficulties. A copy of the water assessment is contained within
the Manual of RFFS, Annex ‘A’.

16. TRAINING
All personnel training will be:
To the required standards set out in CAP 699 and detailed in the Oban
Manual of RFFS and the Oban Airport Training Manual.
Part of a continuous structured training programme.
Documented in personnel training records.
Delivered by approved individuals or organisations, internal or external
as appropriate.
Detailed in the Oban Manual of RFFS
17. MEDICAL FACILITIES.
The medical provision at Oban Airport will provide sufficient medical and
associated equipment to deal with a major incident in the early stages.
An assessment had been carried out by Oban Airport’s Medical Coordinator, in
conjunction with the Scottish Ambulance Service, and sufficient equipment is
retained at the airport to supplement what will arrive with the specialist services
responding to an incident. These medical supplies are held in the First Aid
Room/RVP.
The RFFS provides a first aid service to passengers, visitors, company
employees and other agencies who require treatment on site during operating
hours. This service is available unless personnel are involved in fire service
duties that take priority and attendance to the first aid incident does not
compromise the response of the RFFS to an aircraft incident.
All members of the RFFS are trained, as a minimum, in First Aid to the Health
and Safety (First Aid at Work) Regulations 1981. Certificates of competence
are issued by a training provider and are valid for 3 years. A revalidation
process is instigated prior to the expiry date.
All appliances carry first aid equipment. All RFFS personnel who hold a first aid
certificate are competent in the use of this equipment.

accept, handle or dispense aviation fuel unless they have undertaken a course of
training and are authorised to undertake such duties at Oban Airport. The fuel
contractor is also responsible for all training of staff and documentation relating to
the sale of aviation fuel.
3. PROCEDURES
Documented fuelling procedures appertaining to delivery, storage and quality
control are maintained by the fuel contractor and will be audited on an annual
basis by the License Holder or by second party auditors authorised by the
License Holder.
4. THE USE OF UNLEADED MOTOR GASOLINE
Following discussions between the Council and the Local Fuel Stations (BP and
ESSO) the Council was informed that no quality assurance can be given with
regard to the aviation use of Unleaded Motor Gasoline (MOGAS) that is supplied
on their forecourts. In fact it was stated by some, that the fuel supplied on the
forecourt should not be used for aviation purposes. It has therefore been
decided that unless a quality assured source is found, any ‘self-fuelling’ of
aircraft with this type of fuel is not to be undertaken. AVGAS which is supplied by
the on-site fuel contractor is quality assured and can be used in aircraft that were
previously using MOGAS.
