KRnetHeads,
Although the thought of using a fire extinguisher in flight almost
sounds worse than the fire itself, it's worth having a fire extinguisher
in the cockpit. It's not inconceivable that a fire could break out in
the engine compartment during flight...say an oil line ruptures and
sp
As it was explained to me, You can breath OK after the Halon is
released but
do not have anyone smoking when it is released. It causes respiratory
problems big time. It deprives the fire of Oxygen but there is
enough for
life support. Check this out for yourselves, Virg

Mike. I would be very careful of Halon Extinguishers. Halon works because
it is inert and deprives the fire of air for fuel. That means that you have
no air in your cockpit to breath. With the air vents open, Halon cannot work
because it cannot smother the fire.

It's not going to do you much good in the baggage area if you have a fire
in the cockpit in the air. Can you reach it from your seat? If so, then
good. If not, then a better placement would be somewhere you can reach
it.
I keep a very small Halon down next to my leg. Halon is what you want.

No problem as long as your W & B comes out OK, and you have provided easy
access to it. I would say it is a good thing to have handy.
