Hi,
BelArgUSA, thank you for your post.
I was expecting more details regarding the goal or the utility of your procedure or “further step”.
After reading your posts (11 & 49), I guess your concern is there might be a raging fire in the engine despite the red light is off and discharging 2 bottles and the fire may spread. Hence there is a need for testing the fire detection system to ensure the fire is extinguished.
If you perform a test and you find out the light bulb is good and the fire detection loop is working. Do you still land ASAP?
If you perform a test and you find out either the light bulb or the fire detection loop is not working. Do you still land ASAP?
Per company policy you recommend landing ASAP after engine fire. Do you take in account your procedure of testing engine detection system to decide to land ASAP or not? Or you land ASAP regardless of the result of test?

BigBusDriver and other pilots who fly twinjet, what’s the goal or the utility of testing fire detection system since you will land ASAP anyway regardless of the result of the test? (after the second bottle is discharged and engine fire light is off)
Feedback appreciated.
Thanks
Regards
