What do guys thing about re-checking the situation half way thought the QRH - e.g. fire warning plus outside information - before ordering the evac?
Yes please!
Concerning firing the halon,i was told that in the air,the second discharge is kept in case the fire relights...once discharged,it fire fights for an hour..
Not much possible to evacuate in the air...
On the ground,the possibility to evacuate means delaying the back up of the second is not deemed as important as in the air.
In any case,follow your company SOP,always review your action before a delicate ,potentially irreversable decision such as an evacuation.
I agree,this specific is an annoying ongoing issue.
In such a situation,not waiting for 30 secs would my way for on the ground,especially as the QRH fitted in my aircraft does not mention a delay.
