There still are false alarms, but the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) says the fre quency has been cut drasti cally and-in the; case of jet powered engines - "dramati cally" reduced. . ' ' FAA technicians credit im proved fire detection devices and better maintenance for the reduction, On one type of aircraft, the DC-7, false firewarnings used to occur once every 4,700 engine hours. The average today is once every 16,400 hours. . . The fire detection system on an airliner is about as sensitive as a woman's pride. There are two types. One is the spot detector, located in various key sections of an en gine. The other, and more modern kind, is the continu ous strip detector, which winds a thin, heat-sensitive wire around an engine so that any kind of greatly abnormal heat will trigger a warning. Some false alarms are caused by short circuits, by frayed . or damaged compo nents in the alarm system or by improper engine warm-up procedures by a pilot, Mois ture was another frequent source of phony alarms, al though this has been largely licked by shifting from alter nating to direct current in the system. One airline cut its false alarms by 50 per cent just through this one method. The more complicated piston-engine planes are subject to more frequent false alarms. Yet many of them are not really a false alarm. An FCC engineer ' explained that a leaking exhaust, can trigger a fire warning-a malfunction responsible for a good propor tion of alarms. "This can't actually be classed as a false alarm," the engineer pointed out. "A leak ing exhaust could raise en gine temperature to the point where it s possible a fire might result. So the so-called false alarms from this cause are more of an actual alarm." The jets are not immune, however. In the period be tween last November through January, 27 false engine fire alarms were reported on turbine-powered aircraft. But the FAA says this is not an ex orbitant figure considering the number of jet hours being flown and the high utilization of these planes. "I'd say that in the last five years false alarms have been reduced at least one-third in the piston-engine planes and by as much as 00 per cent in the turbine aircraft," the FAA technician declared. Not only is the equipment better, but It's largely been a matter of educating me chanics in the' proper main tenance and care of this highly-sensitive system." , A fire warning system has to be seen to be appreciated, The continuous strip type will wind about SO feet of thin wire around a jet engine. Each heat-sensitive element is only about one-third the length of a cigarette. The ele ments are designed to give a warning no later than five seconds after being exposed to abnormal heat. FAA presently is testing even better methods of fire detection and warning. One device operates with photo electric cells, which are sensi tive to the kind of light given off by a fire instead of the heat. Another consists of thou sands of extremely fine glass filaments woven into bundles placed at strategic engine lo cations. They actually trans mit a "picture" of an engine fire back to the cockpit. :- Both devices are far less subject to false alarms. But even the older types are bet ter than they used to be thanks to improved design and maintenance.
