SEFEGeorge Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Before I hit the 2nd bottle I'd make sure I got a good visible look at the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 My quistions... =when having such warning,is there any change on the engine indications(FF,TQ,TIT)? Maybe, maybe not. depends on malfunction. A fire warning is not a positive "FIRE" on the engine. The indication is the result of a rapid change (increase) in temperature around the sensor loop. If you shutdown the engine then isolate the wing you should have removed any additional bleed air source of heat and the warning should go out (no time limit to go out) so make a visual check befor using the second bottle. NO fire protection for the remainder of the flight will be FUN... If you have a true fire there will be smoke... Make sure your bleed air valves close when you isolate the wing. check for a torque increase on the engine when you close the valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
