In OPSGROUP, we talk a lot about the North Atlantic.<\/strong> Whether it’s a Plotting Chart<\/a> you need, or an explanation of the Datalink Mandate<\/a>, or a summary of big changes stretching back to the dawn of time<\/a> – we’ve got you covered. We love the NAT so much we even enjoy asking ourselves annoying questions about it<\/a> over and over again to see if we can answer them (we can).<\/p>\n

But here’s something we haven’t fully looked into before – if you’re in big trouble on the NAT (like an engine on fire, for example), where can you go?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turns out there’s quite a bit of complexity to this. Some airports don’t have amazing levels of fire cover, some are closed at night, and some have weird setups where you have to pay them in advance to make sure they stay open in case you need them.<\/p>\n

Not on fire right now?<\/h4>\n

Great! Let’s run through it all nice and slow.<\/p>\n

We’ll start with these odd ones <\/strong>below. And we’re going to do everything in local time<\/strong> to keep things easy.<\/p>\n

Also, for the uninitiated, RFFS<\/strong> means Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (ie. what level of fire cover an airport has), and if you’re confused about what number means what, you can read all about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
