Can someone enlighten a bit how the engine fire switch works on a380. Apologies beforehand if these questions are stupid. Does the engine switchdown depend on the hydraulics? Is there some redundancy or backup ways to send the switch-off command or just one path though the wing? Do other 4-holers handle the situation differently?
