Which QRC item indicates Inflight Engine Fire?

• A. APU FIRE
• B. INFLIGHT ENGINE FIRE
• C. ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND
• D. SMOKE/FIRE/FUME

Answer: (B)

The key idea is to match the exact emergency label to the scenario. The item that explicitly says “INFLIGHT ENGINE FIRE” communicates both the situation (a fire) and the phase (in flight). That specificity is what makes it the correct indicator for inflight engine fire, guiding you to the appropriate inflight procedures. The other options point to different situations: APU FIRE refers to the auxiliary power unit, not the engine; ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND specifies a fire on the ground, not in the air; SMOKE/FIRE/FUME is generic and doesn’t confirm an engine fire in flight. Therefore, the phrase “INFLIGHT ENGINE FIRE” is the only label that unambiguously identifies this exact scenario.
