Where are the flight deck AFFF fixed fire-fighting system controls located?

The flight deck AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) fixed firefighting system controls are located in the primary flight control (Pri-Fly) and the navigation bridge for several important reasons. These locations are strategically chosen for their proximity to flight operations and command activities.

Primary flight control is where the flight operations are coordinated, and it provides immediate access to critical information and communication systems necessary for managing emergencies on the flight deck. This makes it essential for operators to have direct control over firefighting systems from this location, as they can quickly respond to any fire incidents that may arise during flight operations.

The navigation bridge, which serves as the command center for the ship, also offers a vantage point and coordination capabilities, enabling effective command and control over fire-fighting efforts not only on the flight deck but also throughout the vessel.

In contrast, other locations such as the main control room, cockpit, or hangar bay do not provide the same level of situational awareness or immediate access to operation and management of the firefighting system required during an emergency situation on the flight deck. Thus, the answers specifying those locations do not align with operational protocols and needs during fire emergencies on the flight deck.
