treasure in tech library

Guys i found a stack of publications in library :

1. Airliner - by Boeing
2. Aero - by Boeing
3. UPDATES - SIAEC

if got time try to read up those as you can find useful infomation (just information, might or might not help in the interview), feel free to have a look.

If you already know, the HALON fire extinguishing for Engine is HALON 1301. For cabin and cargo compartment, it is HALON 1211. HALON is a good agent for engine because it will still maintain gas form when discharged in flight at ambient temperature -60 degree, while other already in liquid form or freezed up. It chemically react to combustion and direct interfere burning rather than physically, eg. CO2 displaced away O2 only weakening fire. HALON shows low acidity, low toxidity, so it is no harm to human and aircraft structure.

NOTE: FIRE EXTINGUISHER AVAILABLE AT BAY DURING EGR IS FOR GROUND FIRE NOT FOR AIRCRAFT/ENGINE FIRE!

if there is engine fire please do not use ground fire extinguisher, instead, pull fire handle and extinguish, or dry motoring.

CAAS will shoot you if you ever use ground fire extinguisher to shoot the aircraft
