Fire Extinguisher Poll

[201er]

A lot of talk about fire extinguishers but who has one and who's actually used one?

I thought it was required?  I've never flown an airplane that didn't have one (except for gliders).

Really only for Large and Turbine-Powered Multiengine Airplanes and Fractional Ownership Program Aircraft

Perhaps it's different here in Canada, I'm not certain, but I think we're are required here to have one.

Very possible and wouldn't surprise me at all.

During my first solo in a Cherokee Warrior the engine caught fire, and I didn’t quit, you’d think I was smart enough to take the warning sign.

It’s a Canadian requirement.

But you have one helluva PTSD reaction when I light a cigar in front of you.

I flooded my C-140 many years ago and the filter (Bracket) caught fire when I tried starting it, used it then.

The full throttle spin the starter and suck the fire into the engine didn’t work.

My halon fire extinguisher was about one micrometer below the green bar on the fill gauge and it cost me $300 to top it off at this year’s annual. I’ve definitely been asking myself these poll questions
