  Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › In-Flight Fire › Cabin Fire

  Cabin Fire Cabin fires generally result from one of three sources: (1) careless smoking on the part of the pilot and/or passengers; (2) electrical system malfunctions; or (3) heating system malfunctions. A fire in the cabin presents the pilot with ... immediate demands: attacking the fire and getting the airplane safely on the ground as quickly as possible. A fire or smoke in the cabin should be controlled by identifying and shutting down the faulty system. In many cases, smoke…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Straight-and-Level Flight

  Level Flight All of the principal components of flight performance involve steady-state flight conditions and equilibrium of the aircraft. For the aircraft to remain in steady, level flight, equilibrium must be obtained by a lift equal to the aircraft ... weight and a powerplant thrust equal to the aircraft drag. Thus, the aircraft drag defines the thrust required to maintain steady, level flight. As presented in Chapter 4, Aerodynamics of Flight, all parts of an aircraft contribute to the drag…

  engines, prolonged practice of emergency descents should be avoided to prevent excessive cooling of the engine cylinders. In-Flight Fire A fire in-flight demands immediate and decisive action. The pilot should be familiar with the procedures outlined to meet ... this emergency contained in the AFM/POH for the particular airplane. For the purposes of this handbook, in-flight fires are classified as in-flight engine fires, electrical fires, and cabin fires. Engine Fire An in-flight engine compartment fire…

  Heating System There are many different types of aircraft heating systems that are available depending on the type of aircraft. Regardless of which type or the safety features that accompany them, it is always important to reference the specific aircraft ... become knowledgeable about the heating system. Each has different repair and inspection criteria that should be precisely followed. Fuel Fired Heaters A fuel fired heater is a small mounted or portable spaceheating device. The fuel is brought to the heater…
