[QUOTE="Floridacargocat, post: 600176, member: 6168"] an experienced flight crew will take information from sensors placed throughout the aircraft and act accordingly. "False positives" are known to happen, but when the signals are the right one and proper immediate action is not taken (including non-compliance of company policy - see Swissair 101 JFK-GVA), bad things will happen. Fedex recently had a near-miss in an MD-11 because of electronic cigarettes on fire ) damn Li-batteries). Basic rules that are drilled into pilots from PPL to ATP are: - aviate - navigate - communicate. At least that's how I learned it. Sensors do not distinguish between fine particles of curry powder and the physical effects of a real fire. The pilots get a signal" Something is not right" and they are trained to act accordingly.
