C. The use of the onboard extinguishing system
D. Fires outside the combustion chamber can be controlled with the onboard extinguishing system or using halotron and dry-chemical into the maintenance portsExplanation
The correct answer is "Controlled by keeping the engine rotating" because by keeping the engine rotating, the airflow helps to cool down the hot section and prevent the fire from spreading. The use of the onboard extinguishing system is also correct because it can release fire suppressant agents to extinguish the fire. Fires outside the combustion chamber can be controlled with the onboard extinguishing system or using halotron and dry-chemical into the maintenance ports is also correct because these methods can be effective in extinguishing fires in those areas.Rate this question:
