The french government has grounded all its Canadair CL415 fleet following the fatal crash of the type in Corsica. The pilot and Co-pilot did not survive.
The accident occured in the mountainous region near Calvi, where the aircraft was fighting a raging forest fire since Sunday. The Canadian built aircraft crashed on a mountain side for an unknown reason. The bodies of the pilots were found by firefighters in an inhabited area.
For safety reasons the french authorities have grounded the type, and ordered inspections of the countrie's 9 CL415.
The grounding of the Canadairs comes in the middle of France's forest fire season, and merely 2 weeks after the crash of a tracker aircraft, lost during firefighting.
