Yeah, I was just envisioning what happens to our burn pile if we hit it with the leaf blower!
Makes me wonder: is the risk of engine fire greater or lesser in a fuel injected engine vs. carburetor?
No boots on a Cirrus.I think I see boots, which might mean turbo. I wonder if that's a factor?
FTFYThis is why you don't go fly the plane with a fuel leak anywhere.
Your report does not say how the fire started. Any fire in any engine compartment will affect the cowling of the plane, even aluminum ones.
Most aluminum planes have fiberglass cowls...

I didn't know that was an option for our GA planes, cool.I'm putting in fire suppression at my next 100hr
