Zeus67 Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Also, switching OFF the FBW BIT test after it has passed (green light) will make the light flicker momentarily, and then turn on again until the cover is closed. Expected behaviour? Yes. The light will only turn off after the FBW BIT has passed and the cover is closed.

Gliptal Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Excellent. Was wondering because it is in contrast with the AP's BIT test behaviour.
jaguara5 Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Since we talk about startup procedure. 1) Can someone explain the step (right instrument panel) ''Electric pumps (all three of them) Test then off ''. 2) Is there a formula to calculate the bingo fuel setting?
Frederf Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 1. Presumably one turns on each pump in a solitary configuration one at a time and looks for indication that it is working. The BP.G and BP.D caution lights should help to test those two pumps. Perhaps the starter pump can be heard audibly. Clearly this test cannot be done without electrical power. 2. Bingo would be the fuel required to fly from current position to home then to alternate and land with X where X is probably around the 500kg warning light level. This is terribly approximate math but 7300kg fuel is 1800nm ferry range or about 4kg per nm. So a 100nm trip back home and then 30nm to alternate with 500kg reserve is... 1020kg bingo.
Zilch Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I can't seem to find this magical fuel shut off valve. :) Can someone point me in the right direction? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Zilch79's YouTube Channel:

Zilch Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks...just in case anyone else needs a quick reference, I found this in the manual after I asked...it figures. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Zilch79's YouTube Channel:
Hivewasp Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I remember when i first got the plane, ALT1 and ALT2 were off on loading the plane and had to be turned on manually; now they're on already. Is there are reason behind this ? :)

T_A Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Small question- where is the FBW reset switch ? i landed a trimmed planed and needed to reset it due to DECOL after rearm and refuel (engine was off) IAF.Tomer My Rig: Core i7 6700K + Corsair Hydro H100i GTX Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7,G.Skill 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz Gigabyte GTX 980 OC Samsung 840EVO 250GB + 3xCrucial 275GB in RAID 0 (1500 MB/s) Asus MG279Q | TM Warthog + Saitek Combat Pedals + TrackIR 5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TheSnark Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 To the far left, way below the radar panel, then you get some emergency switches, and then you have the FBW test/control switches below a red cover.
Azrayen Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Indeed, but it is not the answer. The FBW reset is next to the Gains switch. Not sure it's modelled. The trim reset (which is what you're looking for, T_A), use the AP standby.
matbog Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 FBW BIT must have been made(since engine start) and result must be Green(OK) and cover closed after test performed to prevent pilot from taking off with FBW in test mode Hi, Is there a sensor on the FBW cover in the real aircraft?

matbog Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 It seems that most of the covers don't have status sensors (open/close), this is why I am asking. Is this the only one in this case? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10
