Hi,

It seems that 747 are fitted with double fire detection loops and double temperature gages which permit engine monitoring in case of engine fire.

Are temperature gages basic or optional items on 747.

Are fire detection loops for detecting overheat and fire (as in some aircraft) or only for detecting engine fire?

Are you required to shutdown engine if the gage temperature reaches certain limit?

Are there other aircraft that are fitted with temperature gage to detect engine overheat/fire?

It will be nice if someone can post the complete procedure of engine fire for companies that require testing the engine fire system after the fire light extinguishes and after discharging one or two bottles (aircraft with 2, 3, or 4 engines).

Thank you for your feedback
Regards.
