What if it's a brake fire? (No Left/Right indication there) What if it's a cargo fire?
Line up, note the wind (from either wind sock or tower report) set the ailerons into wind (see previous thread!
) begin the roll.
Bell rings or tower calls "Fire!", perform the abort, and with the last of the speed, turn into wind. Come to a stop, set the brake, call "Identify the failure".
Job done, and if the aircraft isn't positioned the best, I certainly know it isn't positioned the worst! I am also not attempting a high speed abort while looking down at the centre console, trying to work out what type of fire it is and on which side it is, and
then decide which way I will turn.
