CHAPTER III
Engines (Turbines)
APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) – this is a small engine installed generally in the aircraft
tail. It is used to start the big engines (Turbines) and provides electrical power and air
conditioning mainly on the ground
Cargo Compartment
Avionic Compartment
IFE (In-flight Entertainment)
Lavatories
The fire detection installed on engines and APU are sensitive loops like protected wirings.
This operates when it detects the temperature increasing and suffers variation in its material
composition and sends an electrical signal to the smoke detector computer which informs the
pilots.
The Cargo compartment has electronic detector boxes installed in the cargo ceiling. When
there is signal of smoke, the detector feels the smoke density and then inform to smoke
detector computer that transmit this information to the cockpit.
The Avionic and IFE compartments have similar smoke detector, when smoke is detected an
electrical signal is also sent to the cockpit.
11
3.1.2 Fire Extinguish System
Presently the main fire-extinguishing agent used in all aviation systems is Halon
(Bromotrifluoromethane).
Halon systems are the best for aviation, but not for the environment or the ozone layer.
Because of that, Halon has not been produced since the Montreal Protocol on ‘Substances
that deplete the Ozone Layer’ was signed in September 1987. This is an international
agreement banning the production of Halon.
There some alternative agents being studied in world to replace halon totally. At the moment
there is only an alternative agent called FE36, but this one is a little heavier than halon gas
and has been used in lavatory trash can only.
Generally, depending on the manufacturer, the fire extinguishing bottles installed in engines,
APU and cargo compartments must be removed at established intervals for weight and
hydrostatic testing. These scheduled maintenance intervals can be controlled in calendar days
or inflight hours depending on the aircraft utilization.
12
3.1.3 Engine Fire Extinguishing Operation
Considering an aircraft dual-turbine, generally there are two fire extinguisher bottles to
support both engines. When the pilots are informed by the fire detection system that there is
an engine fire, the pilot operates the fire extinguisher handle, which closes all sources such as
electrical power, pneumatic and fuel, and further the pilot shoots the first bottle and waits to
see if the fire has been extinguished. If the engine fire continues, then the pilot shoots the
second bottle. In the meantime, the co-pilot has declared an emergency and prepares to land
the aircraft.
13
3.1.4 APU Fire Extinguishing Operation
The APU is generally used on the ground, but can be used in flight as well. The operation to
extinguish a fire in the APU is similar to the engines (Turbines), but generally there is only a
small fire extinguishing bottle exclusively for the APU.
There is no fire-extinguishing bottle for this. The pilot controls the air ventilation / cooling in
the avionics bay in order to suppress the oxygen.
IFE is located in the passenger cabin to which the flight attendants have access. The fire
extinguishing is done by portable fire extinguishers installed in the main points of the aircraft.
The amount of portable fire extinguishers is proportional to the amount of passenger seats.
This is regulated by the aviation authority.
Although aviation authorities forbid smoke in the lavatories, the lavatory auto-discharge fire-
extinguisher system comprises a fire extinguisher bottle installed in the waste disposal of
each lavatory. It is charged with extinguishing agent and it is mounted with the discharge
piping extended into the lavatory waste compartment, above the waste container with the
pressure gauge visible when the waste disposal door is open
14
3.1.8 Cargo Compartment Fire Extinguishing Operation
Generally, there are two fire extinguishing bottles for aircraft cargo compartment (for
example: E190, A320, B767 etc).
When smoke/fire is detected in cargo, initially the pilots discharge the first bottle which
completely fills the affected cargo with Halon gas, then after that they deploy the second
bottle. This second bottle releases the Halon in a controlled manner in order to keep the
Halon concentration around 3%. This concentration of 3% to keep the oxygen out takes
around 1h or more depending on aircraft certification.
The portable fire extinguishers are used by crews (pilot and flight attendants) to extinguish
any fire in the cockpit and passenger cabin. Some executive aircraft whom baggage
compartment is accessed from passenger cabin also use the portable fire extinguishers for fire
suppression.

4.2 RECOMMENDATION
The trainee industrial training was valuable and informative. That being said, there are
some recommendations need to be put forth in order to make it even better. Trainee has come
up with several recommendations to the company in order to improve the personnel daily
operation to be more efficiently, effectively and systematically.
Next, the management should provide permanent pass for 6 month to all trainees and
internship students to access to the hangar. Currently the student only get a daily pass which
is cost RM2 per day and need to return at the police station at Sultan Abdul Aziz Airport.
Lastly, all the trainees need to be divided into a small group with engineer or
technician which is to make internship student have their own group and daily task with their
own leader which is the engineer or technician.
