FAS “Avialesoohrana” trains an observer pilot and instructors of paratroopers-firefighters for airborne protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan
5 марта 2020
The Republic of Kazakhstan, not being a multi-wheeled state (compared with the Russian Federation), is unique and inaccessible to many forest areas. Relict spruce forests of the Tien Shan, Altai forest, snow leopard habitats and other "natural pearls” of the state need professional protection from fires.
Aviation forest protection in Kazakhstan was launched in 1948, when the Kazakh Union Republic was part of the Soviet Union. For almost 30 years, the conservation of forests in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic was provided by the West Siberian base for forest aviation protection.
Due to the steady increase in the attendance of the forests of Kazakhstan, and, consequently, the growth of fires, in 1978 in the Republic an independent specialized service was organized - the Kazakh base for forest aviation protection. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan retained the system of aviation forest protection and currently operates the republican state-owned enterprise Kazavialesoohrana, which has a staff of observer pilots, instructors of fire groups, teams and paratroopers.
In the course of the implementation of the Agreement between the CIS countries on the prevention and suppression of natural fires in the border areas, the forest services of Russia and Kazakhstan provide constant information interaction, fire arrangement of the border areas of the forest fund, extinguishing emerging fires and conduct joint tactical exercises.
The training of an observer pilot for Kazavialesoohrana will end in late May, and instructors in early April 2020.

In addition to An-2, Partenavia P.68 aircraft, Mi-2, Mi-8 helicopters, ВO-105, Eurocopter EC145, Mi-17 are used.
Professional interaction of forestry specialists from Russia and Kazakhstan has been preserved and is constantly evolving.In the course of the implementation of the Agreement between the CIS countries on the prevention and suppression of natural fires in the border areas, the forest services of Russia and Kazakhstan provide constant information interaction, fire arrangement of the border areas of the forest fund, extinguishing emerging fires and conduct joint tactical exercises.
Currently, the Aviation Training Center of the Federal Aviation Safety Agency "Avialesoohrana” is training employees of the air fire service of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
