The fire protection system provides fire detection and extinguishing capabilities for:
- A.
Engines, APU, Cargo Compartments and Lavatories.
- B.
Engines, APU and Lavatories.
Correct Answer
A. Engines, APU, Cargo Compartments and Lavatories.Explanation
The fire protection system is responsible for detecting and extinguishing fires in various areas of an aircraft. This includes the engines, auxiliary power unit (APU), cargo compartments, and lavatories. These areas are particularly susceptible to fires due to the presence of flammable materials, electrical systems, and heat sources. Therefore, it is crucial to have a fire protection system that can quickly detect and suppress fires in these critical areas to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.Rate this question:

The Engine fire EXTINGUISHING electrical power is supplied by:
- A.
HOT BATT BUS 1 and HOT BATT BUS 2
- B.
DC ESS BUSES
Correct Answer
A. HOT BATT BUS 1 and HOT BATT BUS 2Explanation
The correct answer is HOT BATT BUS 1 and HOT BATT BUS 2. In the event of an engine fire, the electrical power to operate the fire extinguishing system is supplied by the HOT BATT BUS 1 and HOT BATT BUS 2. These buses provide power from the aircraft's battery to critical systems in emergency situations. The DC ESS BUSES may not be able to supply sufficient power for the fire extinguishing system, making them an incorrect option.Rate this question:

The Engine Fire Detection System is monitored by __________________________ . When a fire condition is detected the signal goes to the MAU which generates the associated EICAS messages and alarms.
- A.
One detector loop
- B.
Two detector loops
Correct Answer
B. Two detector loopsExplanation
The Engine Fire Detection System is monitored by two detector loops. This means that there are two separate systems in place to detect any fire conditions in the engine. When a fire condition is detected, the signal from both detector loops goes to the MAU (Master Annunciator Unit), which then generates the associated EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System) messages and alarms to alert the crew of the fire situation. Having two detector loops increases the reliability and accuracy of the fire detection system.Rate this question:

Anytime the fire handle is pulled it commands the following shutoff valves to close:
- A.
The engine fuel shutoff valve; and the engine hydraulic shutoff valves.
- B.
The engine fuel shutoff valve only.
- C.
The engine fuel shutoff valve; the engine hydraulic shutoff valves and; the engine bleed air shutoff valve.
Correct Answer
C. The engine fuel shutoff valve; the engine hydraulic shutoff valves and; the engine bleed air shutoff valve.Explanation
When the fire handle is pulled, it commands the closure of multiple shutoff valves. These valves include the engine fuel shutoff valve, the engine hydraulic shutoff valves, and the engine bleed air shutoff valve. Therefore, the correct answer is the engine fuel shutoff valve; the engine hydraulic shutoff valves and; the engine bleed air shutoff valve.Rate this question:

Both cargo compartments are protected by the CARGO SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM and CARGO FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM. This means that both the forward and aft cargo compartments have systems in place to detect smoke and protect against fire.Rate this question:
-
- 21.
Each cargo compartment has ________________ smoke detection system.
- A.
The same
- B.
An independent
Correct Answer
B. An independentExplanation
The correct answer is "an independent" because it suggests that each cargo compartment has its own separate smoke detection system. This means that if there is a fire or smoke detected in one compartment, the system will only activate in that specific compartment, allowing for targeted response and minimizing the risk of false alarms or confusion in other compartments. Having an independent smoke detection system for each compartment improves safety and ensures efficient monitoring of potential fire hazards.Rate this question:
-
- 22.
After fire or smoke is detected in the forward cargo compartment the following actions are automatically commanded by the system:
- A.
Air circulation fan is turned off; The FWD fire extinguishing bottle is armed and; The forward cargo compartment ventilation outflow valve is commanded closed.
- B.
The AFT fire extinguishing bottle is armed.
Correct Answer
A. Air circulation fan is turned off; The FWD fire extinguishing bottle is armed and; The forward cargo compartment ventilation outflow valve is commanded closed. -
- 23.
After fire or smoke is detected in the aft cargo compartment the following action is automatically commanded by the system:
- A.
Air circulation fan is turned off; and; The forward cargo compartment ventilation outflow valve is commanded closed.
- B.
The AFT fire extinguishing bottle is armed.
Correct Answer
B. The AFT fire extinguishing bottle is armed.Explanation
When fire or smoke is detected in the aft cargo compartment, the system automatically commands several actions. The first action is to turn off the air circulation fan. This helps to prevent the spread of smoke and fire by cutting off the air supply. The second action is to close the forward cargo compartment ventilation outflow valve. This further restricts the airflow and helps contain the fire. Finally, the system arms the AFT fire extinguishing bottle. This prepares the fire extinguishing system to be activated if necessary.Rate this question:
