How does the IAT program change my fire qualification training?
The IAT program does not replace fire (“I” or “S” courses) training courses. The IAT program provides aviation training to all employees who utilize aviation resources to accomplish their jobs including helicopter managers, wildlife biologists, geologists, and firefighters. Employees who participate in wildland fire are still required to follow the guidelines and training set forth in the Wildland Fire Qualification System developed by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group.
