Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the foam path?
A. A foam path is an aviation safety practice of spreading a layer of fire suppression foam on an airport runway prior to an emergency landing.
B. International Civil Aviation Organization does not recommend foaming the runway in its Airport Services Manual.
C. Both A & B
D. None of these
Explanation:
An air ambulance lost a wheel during take-off from the Nagpur airport, but safely belly-landed at the Mumbai airport on a foam carpet. A foam path is an aviation safety practice of spreading a layer of fire suppression foam on an airport runway prior to an emergency landing. Following a crash-landing, liquids leaking from the aircraft, which are not yet burning, start evaporating, thereby resulting in forming an air-vapour mixture that is flammable or even highly explosive. International Civil Aviation Organization does not recommend foaming the runway in its Airport Services Manual.
