Reference guide to the drop effectiveness of skimmer and rotary wing airtankers / authors, Colin B. McFayden [and 10 others].Fo123-2/35-2023E-PDF

"Airtankers are often essential for the control of wildland fires and facilitating safe ground crew suppression activities. Understanding the performance of each airtanker in various wildland fire situations is important for fire management decision-makers. This guide is intended to provide a systematic and objective method for the relative comparison of the water drop effectiveness of both fixed- and rotary-wing airtankers commonly used in the North American boreal regions. The guide also provides additional resources to help with the estimation and interpretation of wildland fire factors such as fire intensity, as well as other useful information related to airtankers"--Provided by publisher.
