Hi guys
Hola BelArgUsa, as usual I enjoy reading your posts even when you was a member in another aviation forum.
Excuse my ignorance, it will be nice if you can give me some clarifications because I didn’t get the point of your “further step” (After "red light" is out 30 seconds later, test your fire detection system, light and bell, again for that engine).
Let say that after this step or procedure the fire detecting system is still intact/operant, do you continue your flight to your destination or do you divert to the nearest/adequate airport?
So I am wondering if it is possible to continue the flight after engine fire on B747 (I assume you are talking about this aircraft).
If the second fire extinguisher bottle is discharged, can this penalize the adjacent operant engine? (I don’t know how many engine fire extinguisher bottles are in B747, may be 2 bottles for each 2 adjacent engines???).
BigBusDriver, what’s the goal of such procedure in B 737 (testing fire detection system after discharging the second bottle).
I guess I am missing something, so please enlighten me.
Thanks
Regards
