Bedford, TX—REBTECH is pleased to announce the final completion of a night vision compatible conversion of the Air Tractor AT-502, 502A, 502B and AT-504 agricultural spray aircraft. The aircraft is owned and operated by Mr. Dean Heimermann, owner of Countryside Aviation in Chilton, WI.
Last week firefighting aircraft took to the skies just outside of Fort Morgan Colorado. The five pilots and two aircraft were participating in the annual aerial firefighting training hosted by CO Fire Aviation, just in time for the busy summer wildfire season.
Since the first one AT-802F was dedicated to the MILITARY FIRE BRIGADE OF THE STATE OF MATO GROSSO - CBM/MT, the pilots and terrestrial troops have been busy fighting against the fires in the whole State.
Aerial forestry work can be challenging, not only by its very nature but its financial limitations as well. This can be compounded when contract work in forestry is with a helicopter.
Today Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) contracts require the contractor to create and implement a Safety Management System (SMS). This system covers all aspects of company activities including operations, training, safety, planning and response.
