Fire in Flight Flashcards
You are the flying pilot when “FIRE 1” is illuminated on the EEP, what are your actions?
“Fire ENG 1”
If immediate landing available, enter and AEO approach profile for immediate termination
OR
If unable to land immediately, set 75KIAS and land ASAP via and OEI profile
How do the crew decide weather a fire should be fought airborne vs on the ground?
If a landing can be made within 30sec, then the crew should prioritise the landing and fight the fire on the ground, if not continue with the checklist while concurrently preparing to land
You are the NON flying pilot when “FIRE 2” is illuminated on the EEP, what are your actions?
“ENG 2 Fire”
- Attempt to confirm: MFD ENG page T4.5/NG/Nf —> Smoke/Fumes —> External C/S (ATC/Formation)
- “ENG 2 Fire confirmed” —> Landing area?
- Checklist out —> ENG EMERG Shutdown (Pause if on finals) —> NG below 20% = Shot 1 —> Start timer
- Land ASAP
While airborne the aircrews response to an aircraft ENG fire can go in 3 different ways, what are they?
- ENG Fire —> Confirmed —> Landing available within 30 sec —> AEO term w/ ground BF
- ENG Fire —> Confirmed —> Landing site > 30 sec away —> Cx airborne —> OEI or AEO term depending on Cx
- ENG Fire —> Confirmed —> No nearby landing sites —> Fight the fire airborne —> OEI term
How can aircrew confirm a fire while in flight? (5)

You must also start the timer (Shot 1, clock run)
You have recognised an electrical fire, what other checklists are required to be completed?

9 mins
What is the acronym for the ELEC fire boldface
CACL-EL
For the AEO ENG Fire termination, what approach should be flown to land?
Flared rolling LDG
- Should the ENG fail, it still works OEI
- Faster than terminating to a hover
