escaner Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I have seen videos claiming that after startup you shuld lower the DEM button cover and turn off pumps and/or bougies (don't really remember well), but I cannot find any of that in the manual. So, what is the correct configuration of the startup panel once the engine is running? Thank's a lot! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
The_Tau Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 well button cover closed (but it doesnt really do anything just for safety not to press it by mistake) and starter switch to off (first one to right from start engine button) Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau

So, what is the correct configuration of the startup panel once the engine is running? Thank's a lot! The only pump that needs to be turning off after the engine is working is the starter pump. That pump is controlled by the switch that is clicked left when you open the DEM button cover. You only need to click it to the other way. Leave the other pump switches in their M (On) position since they are the booster pumps. Switching them Off will trigger a Master Caution warning.

Skitter Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Leave the other pump switches in their M (On) position since they are the booster pumps. Switching them Off will trigger a Master Caution warning. Apart from Master Caution, will it have any other effect ?
The_Tau Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Well I think they pomp fuel to engines. Engine with fuel is happy engine ;) Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau
Zeus67 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Apart from Master Caution, will it have any other effect ? Yes, it will restrict maneuverability due to irregular fuel flow. You can get a flameout under certain extreme conditions. The engine does not need the pumps to get fuel since the system is gravity fed, but the pumps are there to insure that the engines get fuel no matter what the aircraft is doing.
