April 27, 200422 yr HiI was just playing around with some failuresFirst I did an engine fire in both engine 1 and 2. First engine number 1, FIRE ALARM, pull fire handle, switched to left and right but nothing happens. I shut the engine manually down using fuel cut off. Did the same for engine number 2. After the two fires I tried to start the engines and was surprised it worked. Is this normal?When hydraulic system A fails, I read that the inboard spoilers do not work anymore and when system B fails, the outbourd spoilers do not work anymore. But I don't see any difference when deploying them?When Both systems A and B fails, why can I lower the gear normally (and not via the alternative way). And why can I use manual brakes (isn't this system A and :(. And why are the flaps moving so fast. According to my manual it can take up to 2 minutes to set flaps 15 via the alterative way.Why can I fly at FL370 without fuel pumps on?RegardsFlorisP.S. These are just questions, not comments (yet :()
