A SISAM Canadair CL-215 on a firefighting mission in Liguria lost control after dropping its water load and crashed on a mountain slope near San Massimo. The copilot was acting as pilot-in-command while training for promotion to captain. Both pilots were killed, and the lack of a cockpit voice recorder hampered the investigation.
