Crashed while scooping water from a lake to fight fires.
contributory factors:
- The landing gear was not retracted after Proença-a-Nova takeoff due to the interruption of normal procedures because of mission communications (CMA).
- The pilot's workload in the 10-minute flight between the take-off and the water scooping point did not allow full concentration on the essential tasks to conduct the flight.
- The barriers and procedures in place to avoid incorrect gear configuration were not effective.
