the wheel well fire checklist does not contain recall items but the "checklist introduction" section of the QRH says that reference items can be carried out from memory at the discretion of the captain...I would personally extend the gear if I had a wheel well fire, unless climb performance was seriously compromised, after an acceptable safe altitude. You never know how serious a fire in the wheel well can be...there flight control cables, hyd pumps, reservoirs in there...I īm sure itīs all fire resistant to a point, but a fire not rapidly extinguished could put me in a manual reversion scenario later"
apu fire...i wouldnīt wait for someone to pull a checklist out of a bag, Iīd do it by heart...more examples? starter auto cut out failure...tailpipe fire...I am not suggesting rushing thru a procedure, but identifying the problem and proceeding logically to prevent a bigger problem later...
