La principale préoccupation d'un équipage d'avion-citerne est de larguer la charge à l'endroit précis et dans la forme exigée par le chef de lutte. (...) Le largage total est le type le plus utilisé; toute la charge contenue dans les réservoirs de l'avion-citerne est alors libérée d'un seul coup grâce à l'ouverture simultanée des deux trappes d'évacuation. Cette technique permet de former une charge relativement compacte, laquelle peut mieux pénétrer un épais couvert ou d'attaquer au feu depuis la cime des arbres jusqu'au sol (...) 3, record 1, French, - largage%20total
