What does AC 150/5210-3 pertain to in relation to airport operations?

• A. ARFF communications
• B. Airport security protocols
• C. Passenger service quality
• D. Noise abatement procedures

Answer: (A)

AC 150/5210-3 specifically pertains to Airport Fire and Rescue (ARFF) communications, which are critical for ensuring effective coordination and response during emergencies at airports. This guidance provides information on the standards and practices that should be followed to maintain efficient communication systems among ARFF personnel, ensuring they can swiftly and accurately relay vital information during crisis situations.

Effective communication is essential for ARFF teams to respond to various emergencies, including aircraft incidents, and to work closely with other airport operations and emergency services. This directive emphasizes the importance of having a well-defined communication strategy, which includes protocols for transmitting alarms, deploying responding units, and managing incident communication.

While the options related to airport security, passenger service quality, and noise abatement procedures are all important aspects of airport operations, they fall outside the scope of AC 150/5210-3's focus on ARFF communication systems.
