Airbus A350 - Fire Protection

MAIN LANDING GEAR FIRE PROTECTION - The Fire Protection System (FPS) detects overheat in the MLG bay.

False

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The FPS uses two identical loops (A and B) for each sensitive zone. The FPF receives information from the two loops. The FPF provides information to the ECAM to generate applicable fire warnings or loop cautions.

LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTION - If the SDF detects smoke in any lavatory:

The Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) displays an associated cabin smoke alert and there is an intermittent horn sound next to the lavatory.

The Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) displays an associated cabin smoke alert.

The SMOKE LAVATORY SMOKE ECAM alert is triggered, and the Flight Attendant Panel (FAP) displays an associated cabin smoke alert.

Correct! Wrong!

WASTEBIN FIRE EXTINGUISHING - The wastebin in each lavatory has a built-in, automatic, fire extinguishing system.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

CARGO COMPARTMENT PROTECTION - If smoke is detected in a cargo compartment, the ventilation:

Automatically stops.

will stop after 60 seconds.

Will stop when the agent is discharged

Correct! Wrong!

AVIONICS BAY SMOKE DETECTION - The "SMOKE L(R) AVNCS DET FAULT" alert is triggered if one or both detectors fail in the left(right) avionics ventilation circuit.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

APU FIRE - On ground, if a fire is detected, the Fire Protection System (FPS) automatically activates the extinguishing system.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

The avionics bay has a Smoke Detection System (SDS) and a Fire Detection System (FDS).

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

Each avionics ventilation circuit has two smoke detectors. They are in the air extraction ducts.

Can the flight crew press the ENGINE FIRE p/b in the case of an engine tailpipe fire?

No. This would cut the FADEC power supply.

Only if the APU bleed is available.

Yes, but this must be coordinated with the ground staff.

Correct! Wrong!

ENGINE FIRE DETECTION - The Fire Protection System (FPS) uses two identical loops (A and B) to monitor the sensitive zones. What are they?

The sensitive zones of the engines are the fan and the turbine compartments

The sensitive zones of the engines are the fan compartment and the intermediate compressor compartment.

The sensitive zones of the engines are the fan compartment, the intermediate compressor compartment, the core compartment - Pylon.

Correct! Wrong!

These zones are protected, because they are heat sensitive zones in which a fire could potentially start.

WASTEBIN FIRE EXTINGUISHING - The wastebin in each lavatory has:

A built-in, automatic or manual fire extinguishing system. The detection is activated from the Cabin attendant FAP.

A built-in, fire extinguishing system. The detection is activated from the Cabin attendant FAP.

A built-in, automatic, fire extinguishing system.

Correct! Wrong!

CARGO COMPARTMENT PROTECTION - The Smoke Detection System (SDS) has smoke detectors in the forward and aft/bulk cargo compartments. These detectors are in cavities within the ceiling panels. Each cargo compartment cavity has _____ detectors.

Three.

Two.

Four.

Correct! Wrong!

CARGO COMPARTMENT PROTECTION - When the flight crew presses the assigned push-button, the extinguisher agent is released into the affected cargo compartment. A diverter valve directs extinguisher agent to either the forward or aft/bulk cargo compartment.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

APU FIRE - The Fire Protection System (FPS) uses:

Two different loops (A and B). Each loop has a similar fire detector.

Two identical loops (A and B). Each loop has a fire detector.

One loop with two fire detectors (1 and 2).

Correct! Wrong!

The Fire Protection Function (FPF) receives information from the two loops. The FPF provides information to the ECAM to generate applicable fire warnings or loop cautions.

CARGO COMPARTMENT PROTECTION - The Smoke Detection System (SDS) uses detectors that are in cavities within the ceiling panels. There are:

5 cavities (A350-1000) or 4 cavities (A350-900) in the forward cargo compartment, 5 cavities (A350-1000) or 4 cavities (A350-900) in the aft/bulk cargo compartment, one of which is in the bulk cargo compartment.

5 cavities in the forward cargo compartment, and another 5 cavities in the aft/bulk cargo compartment, one of which is in the bulk cargo compartment.

5 cavities (A350-900) or 6 cavities (A350-1000) in the forward cargo compartment, 5 cavities (A350-900) or 6 cavities (A350-1000) in the aft/bulk cargo compartment, one of which is in the bulk cargo compartment.

Correct! Wrong!

APU FIRE - On ground, if the FPF detects a fire:

The APU automatically shuts down, the FPS arms automatically the squibs on each fire extinguisher, and the external horn sounds

The APU automatically shuts down, the FPS arms automatically the squibs on the fire extinguisher, and the external horn sounds

The APU automatically shuts down, and the external horn sounds

Correct! Wrong!

AVIONICS BAY SMOKE DETECTION - The SMOKE L(R) AVNCS SMOKE alert is triggered if, in the left(right) avionics ventilation circuit:

Both detectors detect smoke or one detector detects smoke and the other is failed.

One or both detectors detect smoke or one detector detects smoke and the other is failed.

Both detectors detect smoke or one detector detects smoke and the other is failed.

Correct! Wrong!
