mvsgas Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Here you can see the pilots scavenging the PW engine before shutdown PW220 When ready to shut down the engine, oil scavenge should be performed, conditions permitting. 1. PW220 Throttle - Advance to 75-78 percent rpm(stabilize for 5-10 seconds). 2. PW220 Throttle - Retard to IDLE for 1-2 seconds. NOTE PW220 Do not wait for engine to stabilize in idle prior to shutdown. Timing begins when the throttle reaches IDLE. Waiting longer than 1-2 seconds after the throttle reaches IDLE negates the effects of the scavenge shutdown. 3. Throttle - OFF.

Slick Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Here you can see the pilots scavenging the PW engine before shutdown Forgive the ignorance, why would that be necessary? Curious :)
mvsgas Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Forgive the ignorance, why would that be necessary? Curious :) That_engine _guy, removing as much oil from the bearing cavities and pumping it back into the tank by the time the engine quits spinning. http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12898&p=160226 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Vitormouraa Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) I was talking to TEG a few days ago about the F-16's augmentor fuel injection system. While GE uses a spray bar arrangement, PW uses spray manifold/ring. Do you have any picture of that mvsgas? Also I find interested how GE's engine works with a higher mass/airflow compared to the PW-220/229 :) Edited November 16, 2017 by Vitormouraa SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com
mvsgas Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 I do not have picture of that, but lets look online. One thing about F-16 engine: everyone one seems to have a completely different experience some love the GE some love the PW. I happen to completely hate PW engines...anyway what are you looking for on the spray rings?

mvsgas Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Like always going back to the source, here is a PW engine. I can't tell if it is a 200/220/220E/229 http://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album03/album88/aah On the ring themselves there is little nipple, that is where the fuel come out of. IIRC, which I do not think I do but, the inner three are one ring, I think is 4 and 5 is the outer most ring. Edit: Let my mark some of this pointing the stuff I remember, but I suggest you recheck everything and question it, last time I did an exhaust inspection was 2010.

Vitormouraa Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Thanks, mvsgas, I was just curious to know if you had pictures since you worked on those. Will take a look at f-16.net and see if I can find more. SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com

Oceandar Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Can anyone explain to me why it's illegal to talk about BMS?? LOLI don't think its about legal or illegal but few times in the past when somebody began to discuss about BMS it derailed from just an information to "my sim better than your sim" thingy... I'd change the BMS to "the sim which cannot be named" in this forum to avoid getting my post deleted Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tze

mvsgas Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Thanks Heli, but there is a lot of info that is wrong there. From to many generalizations to wrong equipment listed and so on. For example, many of the engine are wrong, block 30/40 and 50 with the engine of block 32/42/52 and vice versa. Many more versions of the radar, RWR, dispenser, etc. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Pilotasso Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 Future plans as there is no direct F-16 replacement (or money to buy F35). .
mvsgas Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 Would they include a SLEP and how many hours would it add to the airframes? I heard of the USAF SLEP increasing flying hours to around 13k, what is the average hours on FAP F-16? They have to be up there.
