SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
AutoGyro_POH_Cavalon 915iS Revision 1.0 – Issue Date 08.MAY.2019 7-24
7.21 Stowage Capacity
A storage compartment is located behind each seat with a maximum capacity of 10 kg
each.
7.22 Fire-warning system
The Cavalon gyroplane may be equipped with a Fire indicator light to alert the pilot that a
certain temperature in the engine compartment (or rear 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
