can't remove chocks

[mono6020]

Hi,

i can't remove chocks when cold starting on the carrier.

This always worked without an issue before.

i just get a "Can't comply" from the ground crew.

did something change regarding the startup procedure?

Many Thanks

 

Edit: works with engines off

You need to have your parking brake on to remove chocks.

thx. parking brake is set of course. it works with engines off, i can live with that for now. all good

Engines must be in idle, otherwise they can't do it.

ah that's a good point. thx razo! i recently changed the y-saturation of my warthog throttles to 83 to match the real movement of the throttles in the pit. think that could have removed the ground idle

Be aware not having ground idle can also increase landing rolls substantially.
