I just cannot believe that there is any doubt about this, in such an emergency surely there is a set proceedure.
As an Engineer if I was carrying out a ground run and this happened I am trained to take the necessary actions.
I always occupy the Captain's seat for ground runs and would be the one to make decisions and take action, surely it is the Captain's role when Flight Crew are in charge?
As far as the actual event goes, we are trained to silence the alarm then close the power lever, IF warning still there close start lever, IF still there pull fire handle and wait one minute, IF still there fire shot 1, IF still there after another minute fire shot 2 and evacuate aircraft.
However most Instructors say pull fire handle, fire 1, fire 2, and run like Hell.
OR what steps do you take in the event of an engine fire?
Bloody big ones......................
