The up-to-date ÀRIÀ-200Ì integrated avionics system provides navigation and flight control in adverse weather conditions, anywhere in the world, as well as at any time of the day and in any season – in compliance with ICAO Cat. III requirements. The system’s open architecture allows changes to be made to its configuration to suit the customer’s requirements. All information for the two-pilot crew is displayed on six multi-functional color LED electronic displays arranged on the instrument panel. Conventional instruments are used for back-up only in case of possible electronics failure.
The Be-200 boasts high maneuverability and handling characteristics, which are vital for any fire-fighting aircraft. The Beriev Be-200 is the first airplane produced by BERIEV Aircraft Company to be fitted with an EDSU-200 three-channel fly-by-wire system. The crew compartment is equipped with “fighter” control sticks instead of conventional control wheels.
A special fire-fighting system able to scoop water to tanks at skimming speeds of 0.9 — 0.95 of the take-off speed has been designed specifically for the Be-200. The Be-200ES version differs from the baseline version due to the availability of additional equipment. A new EDSU fly-by-wire system and SPU-200ES intercom system, AOS airborne observation system, SGU-600 external audible warning system and SX-5 floodlight have been installed. Seats for two observers are provided in the cargo cabin, which are fitted with teardrop windows for the visual search of targets, as well as an Orion-25S inflatable boat and cargo equipment. The walls and ceiling of the crew compartment are covered with decorative panels made by AIM Aviation (UK).

The baseline design of Be-200 amphibious aircraft is intended for aerial wildfire-fighting using water or fire-extinguishing liquids. This includes the following objectives:
• Stopping the spread, and containment, of moderate and large forest fires by creating a barrier with multiple drops of an extinguishing fluid at the edge of the fire;
• The elimination of small and newly-started forest fires;
• the delivery of firefighting teams and equipment to disaster areas with landing on a preselected water surface or airfield, and subsequent extraction.
Additionally, the airplane can perform:
• passenger transportation;
• search-and-rescue work;
• environmental monitoring;
• patrolling of exclusive economic zones and sea boundaries.
The Be-200 can be reequipped into the following versions quickly and with minimum cost:
• transport airplane;
• passenger airplane (Be-210);
• search-and-rescue airplane;
• medical evacuation airplane.
All firefighting capabilities are retained. Work on a business-version design are underway.
