Frequently asked questions

The manual provides a detailed chart with recommended fire-fighting agents for various fire locations, including engine fires, fuel fires, wheel fires, electrical fires, hydraulic service bay fires, galley fires, flight compartment/cabin fires, cargo fires, and APU fires.

The Type II/III emergency exit door is deactivated for the extra capacity configuration. The Type I emergency exit is installed on aircraft with the extra capacity configuration.

If no doors can be opened in case of an electrical fire, metal cutting equipment should be used in the area indicated on the chart.

The tire may explode (sideways) and it is recommended to approach the fire from the forward or aft side while standing upwind to avoid 'Skydrol' fumes.
