Airbus family cargo bays
Hi,
Had a couple of questions particularly for the A 340 (345/346) with regards to the cargo bays.
Do the lights in the cargo bays stay on during flight? No reason for them to be so, but just curious. Also, I know the cargo lights are switched on from the door control panel mounted on the fuselage outside, but can these lights be switched on/off from within the aircraft (cockpit, or avionics cabin for the fwd cargo)?
Some Airbus family aircraft have 2 doors (one on either side) leading from the avionics bay to the forward cargo bay. Does the A345/6 have a single or two door config?
Background - The above questions came up while on a discussion on fires that erupted in cargo bays due to faulty lighting etc.
Thanks
