Mr. Winterland: About that RAF Nimrod, is it true that a crewmember saw a the metal above some engine inlets glowing from the internal fire?
Some serious mistakes made onboard the Air Canada DC-9 were when a pilot reset a popped (lavatory motor) circuit breaker at least twice. This supposedly allowed an overload to trigger the fire.
How about an engine fire warning above 80-100 knots on the takeoff roll?
Would you abort at this speed, even if you took a glance and noticed all engines indicating full, stable thrust?
Do you brief that the non-flying pilot should quickly cancel the bell, especially if very loud?
This could be a very hot bleed air leak-but no fire.
