Shaka, I don't agree with you: you are exposed to criticism only if you deviate from the established procedure, unless there is a good reason to do so.
Of course you'll get a pat on your back if all ends well!!!
But our scenario calls for a fire NOT extinguishing!
If after evacuation the airplane burns out, they will reproach to you the fact you have discharged both bottles without waiting the famous 30 seconds.
Swish 266, exactly as you say, IF AFTER 30 SECONDS the fire remains, discharge the 2nd bottle.
BOAC, exact wording for ENGINE FIRE, SEVERE DAMAGE OR SEPARATION (Classic):
"... IF after 30 seconds the Fire Warning LIght remains illuminated:
ENGINE FIRE WARNING SWITCH...ROTATE TO REMAINING BOTTLE..."
No difference between in flight and on ground procedure.
My manuals could be obsolete, could anybody else check if this wording is still valid (737 classic)?
