MD 11 has no "electricaly powered flight controls" and yes, the check lists for "Electrical Fire" and "Smoke" have been modified.

I can tell that this issue is much more complicated that you think, the only thing I would say is:

With a FIRE or SMOKE on board you have to immediately react, meaning go down and land. BUT depending of a lot of factors they where not able to do this.

This IFEN system should not have been mounted on A/C.

None of us was on board...
