A piloted flight simulation is carried out to investigate operational subjects such as crew coordination between pilots and the boom operator, emergency operations, and acceptability of the interfaces. The simulated operations were defined so as to involve the whole operation from take-off to landing, including two sets of fire fighting operations and water recharging. It is concluded that the pilot-flying should request the pilot-not-flying and the boom operator to call out necessary information such as heading, distance from the building, and margin of the ejection boom control range. The pilots concluded that a side mounted distance indicator which can be seen when looking outside the cockpit is effective in maintaining a proper distance from the building. A simulation for a one engine inoperative condition during fire fighting is also carried out. A series of other operations, such as the dumping of remaining water, retraction of the boom, and acceleration and escape from the building were also conducted smoothly.
