Abstract
Aerial fire fighting is more effective on forest fire suppression than ground fire fighting. So, Aerial fire fighting is important to prevent large fire. United States suppression the joint fixed-wing and rotorcraft (Helicopter) but Helicopter only in Korea. At this point, we need to research about ground water drop pattern and coverage level for aerial fire fighting effectiveness by helicopter. In this study, we experimented water-dropping S-64E, Ka-32T, AS-350B2 of three of helicopter to operate the Forest Service and suggested efficient ground water drop pattern and coverage level. Using these study results, recognition of pilots who suppression more efficient aerial fire fighting at the scene of Forest fire.
