This document provides information on the fire protection systems for aircraft engines, auxiliary power units (APU), and other areas of the aircraft. It describes the fire and overheat detection systems for engines and APU which use gas detection loops and a Fire Detection Unit. When temperatures reach a preset level, the fire warning system is triggered. It also describes the fire extinguishing systems, controls and indicators for managing engine and APU fires, including related warning lights, switches and panel displays. Smoke detection and extinguishing systems for cargo compartments and lavatories are also briefly mentioned.
