Uh. In the engine compartment though? I think that qualifies as outside
the cockpit?

I used to fly a Cessna 210 that had a halon fire extinguisher. I
guess being knocked our by halon is better than flying a cockpit fire

We had halon systems in the main propulsion rooms on some of the Navy
Ships (mostly gas turbine powered if memory serves me). We had things
like an emergency escape breathing device you would wear on your hip
while working in those spaces, you could stick that in your mouth and
have a few minutes of oxygen you could use as you were exiting the
spaces. There was an alarm that went off before the halon deployed
and I forget what the time was you had to make the escape from the
space before it would discharge (30 to 45 seconds rings a bell but’s
it been a long time).
The military is exempt with regard to Halon systems. For the rest of us
there are a bunch of alternatives: Novec, FM-200, FE-13, Inergen,
Argonite, CO2.
