SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
AutoGyro_POH_Calidus Revision 4.0 – Issue Date 17.JAN.2019 7-27
7.19 Stowage Capacity
Two storage compartments are located below each seat with a maximum capacity of 2.5 kg
each (2.0Kg UK).
7.20 Fire Warning System
The Calidus gyroplane may be equipped with a Fire indicator light to alert the pilot that a
certain temperature in the engine compartment has been exceeded, possibly as a result of
a fire. The fire indication circuit is based on a special cable routed inside the
compartment(s). The cable has two integrated wires separated by an insulation layer. At a
defined temperature the insulation layer will melt and the embedded wires close contact.
A possible fire (circuit closed with low resistance) will be indicated by a flashing/blinking Fire
indicator light in the Warning and Caution Panel. During normal operation (circuit closed
with ‘normal’ resistance) the Fire indicator light will be off. A malfunction of the system
(circuit open or shorted to ground) is indicated by a constantly lit Fire indication. At every
power-on event the system will perform a lamp test consisting of a series of three flashes.
OFF Normal Operation (normal resistance)
FLASHING Fire, abnormal temperature (circuit closed)
ON System Malfunction (circuit open or shorted to ground)
In the event of a fire indication being shown, proceed according to emergency procedure
“Smoke and Fire” provided in SECTION 3.
