Flight Trajectory
Flight Trajectory : The path that a pilot will fly an aircraft through the air. Pilots should usually avoid flying over personnel or equipment at a wildfire incident and plan an escape route when setting up for a release. There are three additional important terms used to describe the paths to be flown by an aircraft: (1) Approach trajectory - The path that a pilot will fly to advance upon a destination where a drop, landing or other aerial manoeuvre will be completed. (2) Exit trajectory - The path that a pilot will fly after completing a drop or other aerial manoeuvre. (3) Disengagement trajectory - A pre-planned route to be flown by an aircraft when a hazardous condition occurs. A disengagement trajectory is an important part of a pilot's disengagement plan
