Fire Protection; Introduction - BOMBARDIER Challenger 601-3A CL-600-2B16 Pilot Training Manual

INTRODUCTION

The Canadair Challenger CL-600-2B16, model CL-601-3A/R fire protection system pro-
vides the means for detecting and extinguishing fires in the engines and auxiliary power
unit. It may be considered as two systems, a fire detection system and a fire-extinguishing
system. The fire detection system consists of three separate sensing loops (one for each
engine and the APU) which provide visual and aural warnings for detected fires. The
fire-extinguishing system consists of three bottles (two for the engines and one for the
APU) that are activated from the cockpit. The two engine fire bottles are interconnected
so that both bottles may be used for either engine.
The main landing gear bay is provided with a similar detection system that senses an
overheat condition and provides a cockpit indication.
The jet pipe/pylon overheat detection system gives the crew a visual indication of an
overheat or fire in the jet pipe (exhaust) and pylon areas of the engines.
A portable fire extinguisher suitable for all classes of fires is mounted in the cockpit.
The airplane is also equipped with a bleed-air leak detection system described in
Chapter 9, "Pneumatics."
