One of the goals of the Aviation Working Team is to move our agencies toward common standards. At the present time there are only a few policy differences between the agencies of the Pacific Northwest Wildfire Coordinating Group, and these differences are summarized in our Aviation Policy Matrix. These resources are available on the Internet. They contain detailed information. Included in these web pages are more links to even more information. Beyond the information contained in these pages valid information cannot be acknowledged. There is a multitude of information available on the web and more and more is made available everyday. These links are for informational purposes and do not constitute an endorsement by any agency of the government. If you find other information that should be included in this page please contact your Aviation Manager.
