Engine Fire on short final

Onceapilot.

Let me turn it back on you please. Are you saying you are aware of an SOP that tells you what to do with an engine fire at 200 ft as original post.

The best I have come across are recommendations for failures below 1,000 ft and specifically no actions below 400ft (or 500ft). Often taken to mean on takeoff but actually applies on approach as well.

I have worked for several airlines in UK and abroad and not one specifically had an SOP to suggest landing or Go Around.

Guidance yes but SOP no.
