4. If a burning odour is evident, open the cockpit ball-vent and the
canopy side window

6. Extinguish the fire after landing
NOTE:
The independent fire warning system detects excessive
heat in the motor bay via heat-trace wires and
temperature switches. The red LED warns the pilot of a
thermal event in the motor bay and does not
necessarily confirm the presence of flames or burning.
NOTE:
Each battery is fitted with a metal exhaust that
automatically plugs into corresponding exhaust elbows
in the belly of the fuselage. Fumes and gasses from a
thermal event inside the battery case are directed out
via the exhaust nozzles/elbows and vented overboard.
Fumes and gasses will only enter the motor bay if the
integrity of the hard-shell battery case is compromised.
