As a matter of interest, does firing the extinguisher damage the engine? I assume at the least it prevents it from restarting until some fairly major clean-up has been performed? Is this a factor in the decision-making on the ground ? I guess the owners would not be happy to see their expensive aeroplane with 2 f'd-up engines plus a f'd-up APU without very good reason. Or is it just an inert gas that disappears? In the air can you ever re-start an engine after firing its extinguisher?
So many questions......
