Can the Bombardier 415 navigate in canyons and other difficult terrain?
Safe flight at low level is part of the basic design of the Bombardier 415. Flying low in rough terrain is a routine operation because of the aircraft’s high power to weight ratio and its ability to maneuver with heavy loads. Extensive experience in the mountainous regions of Mediterranean Europe and Southern California have proven the aircraft’s capabilities to perform low drops in steep canyons and among sharp mountain peaks.
