GB/T 48280-2026Specifications for helicopter bucket firefighting operations in forest aerial fire protection (English PDF)

GB/T 48280-2026 is the English-translated version of 森林航空消防直升机吊桶灭火作业规范.

Helicopters equipped with water buckets are a standard tool for fighting forest fires from the air, and this recommended national standard provides specifications for such bucket firefighting operations in forest aerial fire protection. It is of practical interest to forest fire management agencies, aviation operators and flight crews, ground coordinators, helicopter and bucket suppliers, and emergency authorities who plan or oversee aerial suppression.

The document focuses on how the operation is carried out, which makes it useful for planning, training and the preparation of operating procedures. It was issued on 28 September 2026 and takes effect earlier than many documents in this batch, on 1 January 2027. The responsible body is the Ministry of Emergency Management. Our records show no earlier edition that it replaces and no adoption of an international standard. Organisations working with Chinese forestry and emergency agencies, or supplying equipment for aerial firefighting in China, can use it as a point of reference.
