It's not only a thing of having a fire extinguisher on your side.......
In our club we always make sure that every time we start a jet, the cabin and turbine latches are open and that our data terminals are connected. Can't understand why people will start a turbine and go fly without testing it on the ground and check that all parameters are OK.
Once again.... we will never start a jet without opening all the possible latched in order to have a good view of what's going on. How long does it take you to close that latches and disconnect the data terminal after ? No time...... but it can sure make a difference and save your plane.
