Boeing 737 New Generation - Questionnaire Fire Protection

Note: A minimum of 75% of good answers is required to pass the test.

YOUR RESULT IS 50%. YOU FAILED THE TEST!

1. Pulling up the APU fire warning switch: o Discharges the APU fire extinguisher. o Trips the generator control relay, and generator breaker, arms the associated extinguisher and closes the bleed air valve o Closes the fuel shutoff valve, and the APU inlet door. o The first & the second statement are correct. o The second & the third statement are correct. 2. The power source for Engine Fire Extinguishing is: o Transfer Bus No.1. o The Switched Battery Bus. o The Hot Battery Bus. o None of the above. 3. Some of the indications for an engine fire warning are MASTER CAUTION & OVHT/DET annunciator lights, the ENG OVERHEAT light, the Master FIRE WARN lights and the red fire switch light. What are the other indications? o The APU DET INOP light illuminates. o A Red ENG OVERHEAT light illuminates. o The Fire Bell. 4. Pulling the engine fire warning switch up: o Closes both the engine fuel shutoff valve and the spar fuel shutoff valve. o Closes both the engine fuel shutoff valve and the spar fuel shutoff valve only if the battery switch is ON o Closes the spar fuel shutoff valve. The engine fuel shutoff valve must be closed using the engine start lever. o Closes the engine fuel shutoff valve. The spar fuel shutoff valve must be closed using the engine start lever. 5. Illumination of the APU DET INOP light will also cause the MASTER CAUTION and OVHT/DET annunciator lights to illuminate. o True. o False. 6. Placing the TEST switch in the FAULT / INOP position tests: o The engine overheat detectors. o The fault detection circuits for both engines and the APU.

The APU DET INOP light, FAULT light and APU BOTTLE DISCHARGE. 7. During normal operation as a dual loop system, with the OVHT DET switch in NORMAL, an alert is initiated only if one of the detector elements in Loop A and one of the detector elements in Loop B signal an overheat or fire condition. o True. o False. 8. In case of APU fire, the Recall Items are :1) APU SWITCH.........................................................OFF2) APU FIRE WARNING SWITCH...... PULL & ROTATE o True o False. There is no RECALL ITEMS for an APU Fire! (see QRH). 9. If the OVHT DET switch is positioned to A or B, the system operates as a singleloop system. The non-selected loop is not monitored. o True. o False. 10. During cargo fire TEST, Individual detector faults can only be detected by a manually initiated test. The MASTER CAUTION light does not illuminate. o True. o False. 11. Cargo Compartment Fire Extinguishing: a single fire extinguisher bottle is installed in the air conditioning mix bay on the forward wing spar. Detection of fire in either the forward or aft compartment will cause the FWD or AFT cargo fire warning light to illuminate. The extinguisher is armed by pushing the appropriate cargo fire ARMED switch. o True o False. 12. In case of Cargo Fire, the Cargo Fire (FWD / AFT) Warning Lights are illuminated red. o At least one detector in each loop detects smoke (with power failed in one loop, at least one detector on the remaining loop detects smoke) o At least one detector in each loop detects smoke. o At least one detector in each loop detects smoke or fire condition. 13. If the DETECTOR FAULT light is illuminated (amber), a minimum of one loop in one or both cargo compartments have failed. o True. o False. BOTH loops in one or both cargo compartments have failed. 14. Main wheel well fire protection consists of fire detection powered by the: o Battery bus. o No.1 AC Transfer bus. o Switched hot battery bus. 15. A dual fire detector loop is installed in the main wheel well. o True.

False.

A single fire detector loop is installed in the main wheel well. As the temperature of the detector increases to a predetermined limit, the detector senses a fire condition. The WHEEL WELL fire warning remains illuminated until the temperature of the detector has decreased below the onset temperature. 16. Cargo compartement smoke detection is powered by : o Hot battery bus. o Switch hot battery bus. o Transfer bus No.1. o DC bus 1 & DC bus 2. Cargo compartment fire extinguishing is powered by the hot battery bus. 17. The lavatory smoke detection system monitors for the presence of smoke. When smoke is detected :- an aural warning sounds- the red alarm indicator light on the lavatory smoke detector panel illuminates o True. o False. There is no flight indication. When smoke is no longer present, the system automatically resets. 18. After a wheel well fire, if the landing gear must be retracted for airplane performance, leave the landing gear extended for ___ minutes after the WHEEL WELL fire warning light has extinguished. o 10 minutes. o 15 minutes. o 20 minutes. o 30 minutes. 19. During 'SMOKE / FUMES REMOVAL' procedure, First Officer's window should be opened if packs are off and smoke / fumes source is confirmed to be in the flight deck. o True. o False. CAUTION : - Establish normal holding airspeed (high airspeed may prevent opening the window)- Window should not be opened unless the source is confirmed to be originating in the flight deck. 20. If smoke / fumes are uncontrollable, the crew is supposed to descent to the lowest safe altitude and at 14000 or below, the PRESSURIZATION MODE SELECTOR should be positioned to MAN while the OUTFLOW VALVE switch should be opened. What is the main cause of the OUTFLOW VALVE operation? o To depressurize the cabin. o To provide maximum cabin ventilation. o To provide smoke/fumes contamination of/from other compartments.

This causes the cabin airflow to carry smoke/fumes aft.

The outflow valve can take up to 20 seconds to open.
