When testing the fire detection system the switch is put into the No. 1 position and lights ENGINE 1 FIRE and ENGINE 2 FIRE T-handles and APU T-handle. When placed in the No. 2 position, why doesn’t the APU T-handle illuminate?
The No. 2 position
lights ENGINE 1 FIRE and ENGINE 2 FIRE T-handle
only, and checks all deck mounted detectors. The engines
and APU are completely enclosed within their own firewall
compartment, thus reducing the possibility of a false
fire warning from outside sources.
