INTRODUCTION
The Learjet 20 series airplanes are equipped with engine fire detection and fire-extinguishing
systems as standard equipment (except model 23 airplanes, which have fire detection only).
The systems include detection circuits which give visual warning in the cockpit and controls
to activate one or both fire extinguisher bottles. A test function for the fire detection system
is incorporated.
GENERAL
Fire detection consists of separate and inde-
pendent systems for the left and right engines,
separate indicating (fire warning) systems,
and a fire detection test system.
A two-bottle fire-extinguishing system is com-
mon to both engines. The system is such that
either of two bottles of extinguishing agent can
be discharged to either engine, or both bottles
can be discharged to the same engine.
