Q

What is the logic of the fire detection loops?

A

If both of them detect high temperature

Or if one failed and other one detects high temperature

Or both loops fail within 5 seconds of each other

Then FWC detects a fire in that area, generating master warning

Q

In EMER ELEC config, how many extinguishing bottles are available? Why?

A

Only 1 bottle, which is bottle 1. This is because both squibs in bottle 2 are powered by DC BUS 2

17
Q

In engine fire extinguishing, what is squib A for bottle 1 powered by?

A

BAT 1 HOT BUS

18
Q

In engine fire extinguishing, what is squib B for bottle 1 powered by?

A

BAT 2 HOT BUS

19
Q

In engine fire extinguishing, what is squib A for bottle 2 powered by?

A

DC 2 BUS

20
Q

In engine fire extinguishing, what is squib B for bottle 2 powered by?

A

DC 2 BUS

21
Q

In APU fire extinguishing, what is squib A for bottle 1 powered by?

A

BAT 1 HOT BUS

22
Q

In APU fire extinguishing, what is squib B for bottle 1 powered by?

A

DC BAT BUS

23
Q

In APU fire extinguishing, what is squib A for bottle 2 powered by?

A

Trick question - APU has only 1 bottle

24
Q

How are the squibs armed?

A

By pushing the engine fire push button

25
Q

Why do we check for the red dot on the APU during the walkaround?

A

To check that the APU hasn’t autoextinguished

26
Q

What do you need for APU autoextinguishing?

A

DC BAT BUS has to be energised
