Engine fire in flight question
I am doing my cpl and I am aware of the UK CAA supplement to the "engine fire in flight" procedure (for Robinson R22/44).
The FAR Robinson book says:
1. Autorotation
2. Master bat off
3. Cabin heat off
4. Cabin vent on
5. If engine is running, perform normal landing and thereafter shut off fuel valve
6. If engine stops running, shut off fuel valve and execute auto landing...
The UK CAA supplement:
1. Enter auto
2. Pull mixture
3. Shutt off fuel valve
4.Execute auto landing ...
Can I please ask those of you with lots of experience etc. what you would do in a real life engine fire situation. I wonder if it is not better to keep the engine running and perform at least a landing that would enable me to exit the a/c quickly, as oppose to a bad, under stress, auto, top the a\c over and then perhaps be stuck in the a\c burning. Those with many hours and lots of auto experience might prefer the UK option, but I am wondering about most of the ppl's, including myself, without the experience.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
