The drop pattern, type of drop, and drop technique can usually be varied, depending on the aircraft type, to suit the particular fire situation. There are three types of drops possible. l.

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

Because spray clouds from tower sprayers can be directed horizontally or inclined toward the tree canopy, spray deposition and coverage on targets are less variable from tower sprayers than conventional air-blast sprayers. That capability also minimizes the amount of sprays that are carried above target canopies. 2, record 2, English, - tower%20sprayer

En matière de pulvérisation, il est important de s’approcher le plus près possible de la cible à atteindre. Ce type de pulvérisateur permet d’entraîner les gouttelettes très près du feuillage en produisant un jet horizontal. Un bon ajustement du pulvérisateur et la fermeture des buses dont le jet pourrait passer au-dessus de la végétation permettent alors de contenir les gouttelettes dans la végétation. Plusieurs manufacturiers proposent une version de pulvérisateur de type tour. Certains designs permettent d’incliner la section supérieure de la tour vers le bas et ainsi de maintenir la pulvérisation dans le couvert végétal. L'utilisation d’un tel pulvérisateur permet une réduction de la dérive de 50 %. 2, record 2, French, - pulv%C3%A9risateur%20de%20type%20tour

However, remote sensing has not yet totally replaced ground-based survey methods and this is largely because some limitations with the technology still exist. These include potential limitations with spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions of the various sensors, problems with all weather capability (not all sensors can see through cloud), costs of data collection and data purchase, and problems with data analysis and interpretation. 5, record 4, English, - all%20weather
