This month’s Redbird Flight Simulations Jay scenario starts like this: A small brush fire threatens property in a state park in southwestern Utah and you’re the first aerial asset on the scene. The plume of smoke is easy to spot, but the fire itself is tucked between hills.
The scenario puts you and your Air Tractor AT-802F “Fire Boss” single-engine air tanker to the test. Users will have to suppress the fire before it rages out of control. Even with the ability to scoop hundreds of gallons of water at a time from a nearby reservoir, the task will take every bit of skill you have to put each drop on target.
