AUXILIARY USES CAN INCLUDE FIRE FIGHTING, FIELD SHOWERS, PUMPING AND CARRYING WATER, DE-ICING AIRCRAFT, AND DISPENSING HERBICIDES OR DEFOLIANTS. THE TESTS IN THIS VOLUME INCLUDE SIMULATED ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING, ROUGH HANDLING AND SURFACE TRANSPORT, AIR TRANSPORTABILITY, MAINTENANCE ASPECTS, OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY, LEAK TESTING, AND HUMAN FACTORS.
