Tomorrow I will be posting a link to an Interagency Aviation Training (IAT) module on SEAT firefighting tactics. I don't know the specifics of the IAT online modules nor do I know much about certifications and (re)certifications that airtanker pilots and helicopter pilots go through. What interested me in this site, was that I learned something from looking at certain modules.
With this in mind, I thought I'd post a link to the module on fire behavior. This is the first of four modules on SEAT training. By the way, the module for helicopter training is almost identical. I have looked at this module a couple of times, spending about fifteen to twenty minutes on my first go around. It requires the adobe flash player, and you can move backwards and view a slide again.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
