Electrical fire
An electrical fire is very unlikely due to the protection with circuit breakers
for all systems. Each battery has a fuse at the terminals and each battery
supply has a circuit breaker switch on the instrument panel.
In the event of smoke or fumes coming from the instrument panel,
perform the following actions:
1. Switch off the master switch supplying the circuits.
2. If a circuit breaker “pops”, reset only once. This is most likely due
to a faulty circuit.
3. Land as soon as possible.
Cockpit fire on the ground
The most likely cause of a cockpit fire on the ground is due to sunlight
reflecting off of an open canopy are concentrated onto a surface inside
the cockpit.
This is easily prevented by keeping the canopy covered when the aircraft
is left unattended, or by positioning the aircraft with the nose pointing
towards the sun.
In case of a fire, use an aircraft type fire-extinguisher to extinguish the
fire.
NOTE: After any electrical emergency or fire, maintenance
action is required.
