ASM Part 1 (2025)

The principal objective of an RFF service is defined as saving lives in the event of an aircraft accident or incident occurring in which area?

• At or in the immediate vicinity of an airport

• Within 1000m of the runway end safety area (RESA)

• Anywhere within the airport boundary or movement area

• On the manoeuvring area, runway, or taxiways

A distinctive characteristic of aircraft fires is their tendency to reach what intensity within a very short time?

• High heat intensity

• Extreme localized intensity

• Lethal intensity

• Uncontrollable intensity

The rupture of fuel tanks in an aircraft crash presents a high degree of probability of ignition if the spilled liquids come into contact with hot metal parts or due to what other cause?

• The use of extinguishing agents

• Sparks caused by the movement of wreckage or disturbance of the electrical circuit

• High ambient temperatures and low humidity

• Friction caused by the fuselage sliding along the ground surface.

The use of special tools for rescue crews in order to gain access to the interior of a fuselage can only be regarded as what type of measure?

• A necessary measure

• A secondary measure

• An extreme measure

• A preparatory measure

5. The RFF service at an airport should normally be under the administrative control of which entity?

• The local regulatory authority

• Air traffic control (ATC)

• The airport management

• The aerodrome emergency operations centre

The level of protection to be provided at an airport should be based on the dimensions of the aeroplanes normally using the airport as adjusted for what factor?

• Their maximum seating capacity

• Their frequency of operations

• Their maximum take-off mass

• Their overall wingspan

If after selecting the category appropriate to an aeroplane’s overall length, that aeroplane’s fuselage width is greater than the maximum width for that category, then the category for that aeroplane is actually what?

• Reduced by one category

• The category remains the same

• Two categories higher

• One category higher

What is the aeroplane overall length range for Airport Category 10?

• 74 m up to but not including 80 m

• 76 m up to but not including 80 m

• 79 m up to but not including 90 m

• 76 m up to but not including 90 m

Airports should be categorized for RFF purposes by counting the aeroplane movements in which period of time?

• The busiest consecutive six months of the year

• The busiest calendar year

• The busiest consecutive three months of the year

• The preceding twelve months of operation

When determining the RFF category, which types of operations need to be taken into account, according to Annex 14 — Aerodromes, Volume I — Aerodrome Design and Operations, 9.2.1?

• General aviation and aerial work operations

• All types of aircraft operations

• Commercial air transport operations
