About Us Forest Protection Limited (FPL) is a global leader in full spectrum forest health management and a centre of excellence in aerial work. We champion strong, healthy forests and climate change mitigation through fire fighting, research and development, and pest management. Our unique set of specializations help forest practitioners to preserve and promote forest health. When our forests are healthy, they play a vital role in sustaining our ecosystems, our communities, and our economies. As a result, our stakeholders trust us to preserve and promote the sustainability of this important natural resource.
FPL has a rich history. Over 69 years FPL has demonstrated excellence in aerial application and forest fire response and quick attack while being a Transport Canada licensed 702 Aerial Work Operator and Approved Maintenance Organization.
FPL is a pioneer in the use of offset spraying. Using precision GPS tracking with aircraft-based meteorology and an advanced predictive AG-NAV® guidance system, FPL’s Accuair® Aerial Management System (AMS) automatically determines flight path offset to ensure a minimal off-target spray drift. The Accuair® system is designed to exceed aerial application guidance and control requirements. FPL provides turnkey aerial application services. Since our inception we have been a leader in aerial forest pest management leveraging technology that we helped pioneer. Our team collaborates with customers in project planning, and we manage large-scale operations from multiple bases. In the air, our fleet of eight AT802s can be configured for ultra-low volume applications while using drift reduction technology to ensure cost-effectiveness and accuracy. We can provide Aerial Firefighting services to jurisdictions across North America. Our Air Tractor AT-802s can be used for a variety of forest firefighting requirements. Our aerial fire teams consisting of tankers and support aircraft carry loading staff, equipment, and licensed maintenance staff to minimize downtime.
