Portable Extinguisher - BOMBARDIER Challenger 601-3A CL-600-2B16 Pilot Training Manual

PORTABLE EXTINGUISHER

A portable fire extinguisher is located in the
flight compartment on the bulkhead behind the
copilot's seat (Figure 8-8). The extinguisher
is charged with Halon 1211 extinguishing
agent and is suitable for use on Classes A, B,
and C fires.
When required, the extinguisher is removed
from its support by unlatching a quick-release
clamp. Discharge of the extinguishing agent
is effected by setting a button to the discharge
position and squeezing a spring-loaded lever
on the extinguisher operating head. The lever
can be released at any time to stop the dis-
charge. The charge pressure of the extin-
guishing agent allows the extinguisher to be
used at a safe distance from very hot fires or
fires generating a dangerous amount of smoke.
