In flight, a little smoke emerges from behind the instrument panel. An engine fire is suspected. Which action, with respect to the Pilot's operating manual, should be taken?
The effects of smoke are reduced visibility and physiological changes to people. The physiological changes include the effects of:
- Irritation to the eyes
- Irritation to the air-ways
- Over stimulation of the nasal passages
- Irritation to the lungs
In dense smoke the rate of oxygen absorption in the lungs is reduced resulting in hypoxia after prolonged exposure leading to asphyxiation and death.
Switching off the heating and the ventilating system will stop the smoke from spreading.
