What you will study

Understand the detector and find its connections

Follow the engine sensing tube to the pneumatic responder and its separate integrity/alarm contacts. Locate the UN007 nose detector, UC006–UC010 cabin detectors and their own power circuits. Read detector LED states in the named inspection rather than treating every green or red light as the same condition.

Distinguish detection checks from warning-command measurements

Compare the rotary TEST switch response with separate aerosol checks at each installed cabin detector. The qualified warning-voltage example identifies the disconnected PD034/PE034 harness and keeps the held and released voltage criteria separate from live cartridge terminals.

Verify what ENG FIRE actually changes

Separate the ENG FIRE command, BOTTLE ARMED discharge control, cockpit FUEL SHUT OFF message and VD004/VE004 actuator movement. Task-specific examples compare physical valve OPEN/CLOSED/OPEN motion with separate generator, airflow and engine-rundown observations.

Preserve the extinguisher path and close the task

Locate the engine bottle, pressure indication, aft and forward nozzles and their named union connections. Keep bottle low-pressure response, agent charge and life-cycle requirements distinct. Interpret portable-extinguisher location, placard and weight records, then retain protection, mounting, reconnection and restoration checks.

Learning outcomes

  • Identify the engine, nose and cabin detector installed for the stated configuration.
  • Explain detector integrity, alarm and task-specific LED indications.
  • Compare each qualified warning-voltage phase with its own requirement.
  • Distinguish a cockpit shutdown indication from observed actuator movement.
  • Locate the nozzle connections and preserve the required restoration and supplier checks.

Aircraft and course applicability

Identified Model 408 engine fire detection, nose/cabin smoke detection, engine extinguishing and portable-extinguisher installations. Study references use the supplied Chapter 26 export with its December 1, 2025 effective-page list, selected Chapter 6/24 tasks and the dates of each test. Passenger, freight, optional equipment and individual task preparation are kept explicit. Complete current airframe, wiring and supplier instructions govern physical maintenance.

WWAOG provides independent training. Online completion records knowledge and simulation achievement; it does not replace observed practical qualification, employer authorization or applicable licensing. Use current aircraft-effective maintenance instructions for physical work.

Before you enroll

Is this course suitable for my aircraft or role?

Identified Model 408 engine fire detection, nose/cabin smoke detection, engine extinguishing and portable-extinguisher installations. Study references use the supplied Chapter 26 export with its December 1, 2025 effective-page list, selected Chapter 6/24 tasks and the dates of each test. Passenger, freight, optional equipment and individual task preparation are kept explicit. Complete current airframe, wiring and supplier instructions govern physical maintenance. If you are choosing training for a different installation or a team, email info@wwaog.com with your aircraft configuration, learner experience and training goals.

Where do I find the price and sign up?

About 2 minutes
01 · Understand

The selected Engine Fire Warning Operational Check compares two phases at the specified disconnected bottle-discharge harness. With BOTTLE ARMED held, voltage must be 29.0 ± 0.5 V; after releasing BOTTLE ARMED, voltage must be 0.0 ± 0.1 V. These are different requirements. The record identifies PD034 harness pins 1–2 after the complete grounding, breaker and bottle-wiring protection setup; live cartridge terminals are not the measurement point. Study reference: supplied 408MM 26-20-00 pp 501–504, March 15, 2022.

Compare each fire-warning voltage phase with its own requirement
  1. Protected, disconnected PD034 harness; pins 1–2 identified
  2. BOTTLE ARMED held: 29.7 V versus 29.0 ± 0.5 V
  3. BOTTLE ARMED released: 0.03 V versus 0.0 ± 0.1 V
02 · Read the supplied record

Fictional SkyCourier record: the complete 2022 warning-voltage test preparation is documented, including aircraft grounding, the named circuit-breaker phases and disconnected/protected bottle discharge wiring. Qualified readings at PD034 harness pins 1–2 are 29.7 V with BOTTLE ARMED held and 0.03 V after releasing BOTTLE ARMED. The supplied limits are 29.0 ± 0.5 V held and 0.0 ± 0.1 V released.
