Which of the following is NOT part of the smoke/fire detection test procedure?

The smoke and fire detection test procedure is designed to ensure that all systems related to detecting potential fires or smoke aboard the aircraft are functioning properly. This involves several specific actions aimed at verifying the effectiveness of the detection mechanisms.

In this context, assessing fuel pressure is not relevant to the smoke/fire detection system. While monitoring fuel pressure is important for overall aircraft operation and safety, it does not directly correlate with testing the smoke and fire detection systems. The focus of the smoke/fire detection test is on the immediate warning and detection capabilities of the aircraft rather than the operational status of the fuel system.

On the other hand, checking T-Handle lights involves verifying that the lights illuminate correctly when engaged, indicating that the fire suppression system is armed. Listening for aural warning tones is crucial, as these tones alert personnel to any smoke or fire conditions. Monitoring ACAWS (Aircraft Crew Alerting System) warnings ensures that all potential threats are communicated to the crew. Each of these actions is directly related to the effectiveness and readiness of the smoke/fire detection systems in the aircraft.
