Call signs – Special Task Operations

Aircraft regularly involved in firefighting and emergency support may be assigned individual call signs, principally for use in radio communications. Assigned call signs may also be used in other documentation and systems to identify specific aircraft. Assigned radio call signs are referred to as Special Task Operations call signs. 

NAFC does not allocate Call Signs. The below table shows the most recent allocation of call signs as maintained by state and territory agencies, and recorded in ARENA. 

Call signs can and do change regularly. Call Sign enquiries should be directed to the agency or jurisdictional airdesk.
