VH-LAB/FIRESCAN 125 Beech B200T Super King Air (MSN BT-23, ex N312D) owned by Air Affairs Aviation, at Jandakot Airport – December 2020. This aircraft was temporarily based at Jandakot for the 2020/21 bush fire season (it was also here for the 2019/20 fire season), under contract to the Western Australian Government, under the management of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services. It is fitted with infra red line scanning equipment, used to scan bush fire areas and provide live intelligence, including fire mapping, to ground incident control crews. Scanning is conducted high above the fire area, by flying fixed patterns well above air attack traffic. The line scanner is able to see through smoke and show terrain, streams and roads, to pinpoint fire edges, burnt areas and spot fires. It is normally based at Nowra, NSW and arrived at Jandakot on 29 October 2020. Photo © Brenden Scott.
