Operational parameters for an S2F airtanker were monitored on a series of wildland fires to verify previous assumptions concerning typical flight envelopes. Results confirmed the validity of the procedure and instrumentation used in obtaining real-time aircraft drop height, speed, drop configuration, release sequence, and other related data. In-flight measurements support general assumptions made during previous studies dealing with delivery systems, retardant properties, and in the development of guidelines derived therefrom.
