False fires lights

After 18K hours on R/W and 4.5K hours on F/W I have had many fire lights.

UH1, BH04/05/212/214ST, SK55/55T/58/58T/61/76, King Air,etc.

Not ONE was a real fire.

I had a chance to run that Poole incident in the Bournemouth 61 sim. They also experienced loss of hydraulics indications but I cannot recall the exact sequence. In any event, due to fire damage up top all hydraulics were lost just at touchdown.

It was an especially fun exercise for those who are sim instructors. One would never be so cruel as to give some poor sap multiple, supposedly unrelated, failures
