About the CASA C-212 Aviocar
Coordination and observation aircraft
It carries the observers and radios that organize the air operation. It locates and assesses the fire, identifies safe drop runs, separates aircraft in the incident airspace, and guides tankers; it normally carries no water or retardant.
What this type can do
The C-212 is a rugged short-takeoff utility aircraft with room for observers, radios, or sensors. It can coordinate a fire from overhead, survey broad areas, and move people or equipment from relatively short airfields.
This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.
The CASA C-212 Aviocar is a turboprop-powered STOL medium cargo aircraft designed and built by Spanish aircraft manufacturer Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA). It is designed for use by both civil and military operators.
