The same source specifies that the first aircraft (CL415), which will bear the CN-ATS registration , is continuing its certification and validation process, in particular the development of the cockpit and navigation devices, at Cascade Aerospace at the Abbotsford Airport , Canada .
According to a military expert, it is an aircraft equipped with a new cockpit and technology that will later be adopted throughout the fleet.
“The 2nd and 3rd Canadairs will be delivered with a cockpit similar to the CL415s in service with the FAR to have a fleet available in numbers capable of coping with the fire season, which is likely to be fierce this year”, continues the expert.
The third aircraft (CL-415EAF CN-ATT), meanwhile, is undergoing development work on the airframe and engines at the De Havilland plant in Calgary, Canada, according to FAR Maroc, which recalls that the moroccan fleet has eight canadairs.
