- Hello! How do you do everyone.
Hope you enjoy this clip from a training session in the B747-8 ‘Superjet’ simulator. Whenever we complete a check ride as we have done today, and we have extra time left in our allotted session, I ask the students if they would like to practice some exercise or procedure. Today, Raymond who had just passed his checkride, asked to practice an engine fire and three engine landing. The B747-8 has 2 fire extinguisher bottles in each wing. One is designated for each engine but in severe fire cases, both fire bottles can be used to fight a fire in an engine. This would mean you would not have an extinguisher available for the other engine on same side if it also caught fire later( you’d be having a bad day).Hence the reason an immediate landing is required. The fire extinguisher bottles on other wing cannot be used for the opposite wing.
The rest of the info is in the labels as the video runs. Oh and by the way, the actions to shutdown the engine on fire and discharge extinguishers must be done from memory. Hope you like it!
‘Chi Di Gin!’- Later!😀✈️
