detection systems is - ✔✔C- dents, kinks, or crushed sensor sections.
17 (9013) - A thermocouple in a fire-detection system causes the warning system to

connections.Regarding the above statements, - ✔✔B- both No. 1 and No. 2 are true.
22 (9018) - What method is used to detect the thermal discharge of a built-in fire-
extinguisher system? - ✔✔B- A rupture of the red plastic disk in the thermal discharge
line.

between minimum and maximum limits. What procedure should be followed? - ✔✔B-
Replace the extinguisher container.
27 (9023) - In some fire-extinguishing systems, evidence that the system has been
intentionally discharged is indicated by the absence of a - ✔✔C- yellow disk on the side
of the fuselage.
28 (9024) - If a fire extinguisher cartridge is removed from a discharge valve, it should
be - ✔✔B- used only on the original discharge valve assembly.
