Fire Detection and Protection 12 Flashcards
The principle of operation of Firewire is:
a.Positive coefficient of inductance, negative coefficient of impedance
b.Positive coefficient of resistance, negative coefficient of capacitance
c.Positive coefficient of capacitance, negative coefficient of resistance
d.Positive coefficient of impedance, negative coefficient of inductance
c.Positive coefficient of capacitance, negative coefficient of resistance
Operation of a fire handle:
a.tells the cabin crew the aircraft is on fire.
b.it doesn’t isolate any services, that’s done by the crew.
c.isolates the fuel, bleed air, hydraulic oil, switches off the gen and operates the extinguisher.
d.isolates the fuel, bleed air, hydraulic oil, switches off the gen and arms the extinguisher.
e.isolates the fuel and hydraulic oil only.
d.isolates the fuel, bleed air, hydraulic oil, switches off the gen and arms the extinguisher.
In an engine nacelle there would be:
a.no fire detection in that area because engines are very hot.
b.two loops of fire wire and both are required to detect a fire to operate the fire warning.
c.three loops of fire wire and all three are required to operate the fire warning.
d.one loop of fire wire.
b.two loops of fire wire and both are required to detect a fire to operate the fire warning.
With a fire detection system, it must not only detect the fire but also detect the fire has gone out.
Select one:
True
False
True
A gas filled detector:
a.detects a change in its internal pressure coursed by heat.
b.detects a drop in its internal pressure coursed by heat.
c.it cannot be tested on the ground only during flight.
d.it only detects smoke.
a.detects a change in its internal pressure coursed by heat.
Any fire or smoke warning:
a.is only important during flight.
b.must always be treated as a real fire.
c.could be a false alarm therefore a test of the system should be carried out.
d.is only important on the ground so that the aircraft can be evacuated.
b.must always be treated as a real fire.
Indications of an engine fire are:
a.an audible warning and a master fire caption light.
b.are a master caption light and engine fire handle.
c.FIRE attention getting light (red flashing), sound of a fire bell, engine master warning light (constant red light on fire handle or button), illumination of the appropriate extinguishers and display warning on the EICAS or ECAM.
d.an audible warning and automatic operation of the fire extinguisher system.
c.FIRE attention getting light (red flashing), sound of a fire bell, engine master warning light (constant red light on fire handle or button), illumination of the appropriate extinguishers and display warning on the EICAS or ECAM.
What is the indications of a successful engine fire drill:
a.the engine fire handle or button light going out.
b.the master caption going out.
c.the engine stopping.
d.the audible alarm switching off.
a.the engine fire handle or button light going out.
Can any of the warnings of an engine fire be cancelled:
a.Yes, the audible warning and attention getting light.
b.Yes all fire indications can be cancelled to allow the system to detect another engine fire.
c.Yes the engine master fire caption (fire handle).
d.No
a.Yes, the audible warning and attention getting light.
Having carried out a successful fire drill:
a.it is safe to continue the flight to your destination.
b.reduce the remaining flight time by half.
c.the aircraft should be landed as soon as possible (asap).
d.turn back to your departure airfield and give ATC and ETA.
c.the aircraft should be landed as soon as possible (asap).
