detected during an engine fire detection system
test?

 Dual loop temperature sensors
 Two smoke detectors

 During initial power up, dual fire/overheat faults in

an engine fire detection system are indicated by:
 A FIRE/OVHT SYSTEM advisory
 A fire warning
 An overheat caution

 Normal cargo fire detection requires:

 Both temperature sensors indicating temperatures higher than 31°C (87°F)
 Either of the two smoke detectors in the cargo compartment sensing smoke
 Both smoke detectors in the cargo compartment sensing smoke

 Fault monitoring of the cargo bay smoke detectors

occurs when:
 The cargo heat switches are placed ON
 The cargo bay air circulating fans begin to operate
 A cargo FIRE/OVERHEAT system test is performed

 What warning indications are tested when a

Fire/overheat test swirtch is pushed?
 The Master warning/caution lights & fire bell only
 The fire warning bell, discrete lights and master warning lights
 The fire warning light & bell only

 What indication confirms both engine fire

extinguisher bottle squibs and firing circuits are
operational?
 The associated engine squib light on the squib test panel illuminates during a squib test.
 The associated engine squib light on the squib test panel does not illuminate during a squib test
 The discrete engine fire bottle discharge lights illuminate & the associated EICAS messages appear on the
EICAS display

 What does pulling the Engine Fire Switch do?

 Disconnects the generator drive
 Closes the APU bleed air shutoff valve
 Closes associated engine & spar valves

 What should you do if the Engine Fire Switch cannot

be pulled out during an engine fire?
 Push in on the Engine Fire Switch and then pull.
 Rotate the Engine Fire Switch & pull
 Push the Fire Override Switch then pull the handle

 What happens when the Engine Fire Switch is

rotated to the stop?
 Arms the fire extinguisher squib
 Discharges the selected fire extinguisher into the respective engine nacelle
 Closes the engine & spar fuel valves & disconnects the hydraulic pump

 Can both fire bottles be discharged into either

engine?
 No.
 Yes

 How long should you wait before discharging the

second fire extinguisher bottle into an engine that
continues to have an illuminated fire warning light?
 20 seconds
 No time delay
 10 seconds
 30 seconds
 What happens to an operating APU when the Fire
Switch is pulled out?
 It will shut down immediately
 Nothing unless the fire light is on
 It will shutdown 60 seconds after the bleed valve closes

 When is the fire bell & warning light inhibited?

 From brake release till 400 feet reached or 20 sec.
 During T/O from 80 knots to 400 feet or 20 sec.
 During T/O from nose gear extension to 400 feet or 20 sec.

 When will the AFT Cargo Fire Warning Lights go

out?
 When the fire extinguisher bottle is discharged
 When the Fire signal no longer exists
 When the applicable Cargo Fire Switch is pushed

 Which fire detection system(s) is (are) not tested

continuously after powerup?
 Cargo compartments
 Wheel well
 Cargo compartments & wheel well
 APU & cargo compartments

 Which system fire detection loops are tested

continuously?
 Engines
 Equipment cooling
 Lavatories
 Wheel well

 You see FIRE/OVHT SYST amber message on the

EICAS. What condition could cause this panel
indication?
 Fire protection not being available to the assocaited system
 Two inoperative detection loops of an assocaited system
 An inoperative fire bottle squib
 An inoperative wheel well fire detection loop
 What does arming the forward cargo fire
extinguisher do?
 Turns off the RIGHT Recirculation Fan
 Turns off Both Recirculation Fans
 Turns off the LEFT Recirculation Fan
 Turns off Both air conditioning packs

 The main wheel well fire detection system consists

of :
 A single fire detection loop
 A double fire detection loop
 A double fire detection loop when AC power is available.

 The main gear wheel well has fire detection &

warning only. There is no fire extinguishing system.
The nose gear wheel well does not have a fire
detection system.
 True
 False.

 Overheat detection systems are installed for both

engines, struts, and pneumatic ducts in the wing
and body areas.
 False.
 True

 A Fire is sensed in the APU. The APU Fire Switch is

pulled.
 It shuts down the APU, closes the APU fuel valve, trips the APU generator off, arms the APU fire extinguisher
bottle & closes the APU air supply valve .
 It closes the APU fuel valve, trips the APU generator off, closes the APU air supply valve, shuts down the APU
& arms the APU fire extinguisher bottle.
 It shuts down the APU, closes the APU fuel valve, trips the APU generator off, closes the APU air supply
valve, & arms the APU fire extinguisher bottle.
