mvsgas Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I knew some one explain this to me before, I got it from this guys http://www.cruzdesanandres.com/v2/ There is a switch on the bottom of the fuel gauge you have to move to "Т" position to see fuel flow. You where right vekkinho 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. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

"The wreckage of a border-guard helicopter that disappeared last night with three officers on board was discovered on Sunday morning in Belarus some 200 metres (yards) from the (Polish) border," PAP news agency reported regional fire-brigade spokesman Marcin Janowski as saying. PAP said the cause of the accident, which occurred during a routine patrol of the border in the north-eastern corner of Poland, was not immediately known.

You where right vekkinho MVSgas, check this site, it's the panoramic view of MiG-29UB cockpit of Hungarian airforce taken during Kecskemet airshow in August 2008. http://album.reality.hu/OLD/panos/repnap/mig29_inst/ Zoom view onto fuel gauge indicator or left click onto it. You'll see the P/T toggle switch...Pretty same in Su-27 except fuel qty are 3 times larger :) 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Zulu Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 BANG! And passenger was gone BANG! And passenger was gone Joyrider accidentally ejects from SAAF aerobatic aircraft Oct 31, 2009 9:26 PM | By ROGER MAKINGS The civilian passenger was expecting the ride of a lifetime when he strapped himself into the back seat of a South African Air Force Silver Falcons aircraft. But after the aircraft took off, he got more than he bargained for - way more. Although confirmed details are thin, it is probable that during an aerobatic manoeuvre, the passenger tried to steady himself by grabbing the black and yellow striped handle between his legs. And that's when the ride really began. The ejection sequence started with the firing of the three cartridges in the Martin Baker-built seat. The seat lifted about 45cm off the floor and this activated the two rockets. Passenger and seat smashed through the Perspex canopy of the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II and, pulling about 20G, was 100ft out of the aircraft in two seconds flat. The bewildered, and probably terrified, former occupant, whose identity has not been revealed, would have found himself floating in the crisp afternoon air of the Western Cape's Langebaanweg, probably watching as his equally stunned pilot, Captain Gerhard Lourens, circled to make sure his erstwhile passenger was okay. In confirming Wednesday's incident, the SAAF said a board of inquiry had been established. "Much of the information has yet to be tested, but it is confirmed that a civilian passenger unintentionally ejected from a Silver Falcons Pilatus PC-7 Mk II Astra during a general flying sortie out of Langebaanweg Air Force Base this week. "The passenger was recovered (by helicopter) unharmed, and returned to Langebaanweg. The aircraft landed safely." The spokesman said the flight had been cleared and all procedures adhered to "prior to the passenger boarding the aircraft", making it unlikely charges would follow. A retired SAAF instructor pilot said yesterday the passenger could consider himself extremely lucky to have survived the ejection with barely a scratch. "We train for this and if you don't get it right, and are not in the correct ejection posture, you can sustain severe spinal cord injuries or even worse." He said it was not possible that the seat fired of its own accord. There were too many safety features built into the system. "All it takes is for the firing handle (the rubbery black and yellow striped loop) to be pulled up about 2.5cm and you're on your way out." He said the ejection would have been dramatic. "You get one almighty kick under the backside and then you're gone. "The seat separates from the pilot automatically and the chute opens. This is in case the pilot is incapacitated during the ejection." He added that the passenger would have received a thorough briefing on the ejection sequence and warned that the "loop" between his legs was not to be touched unless the pilot called "eject, eject, eject" during the flight. Such a briefing is done routinely, even when two qualified pilots are involved in the flight. It is likely the rear cockpit was extensively damaged by the firing of the cartridges and rockets during the ejection. The Silver Falcons are the SAAF's aerobatic team that perform precision formation and aerobatics displays at airshows around the country. The five pilots are all serving instructors at Central Flying School, Langebaanweg. As one observer put it: "What a trip. That guy took off in an Astra, came down in a parachute, and landed back at base in a helicopter. Not bad for a for a single flip." http://www.timeslive.co.za/sundaytim...icle174661.ece To INVENT an Airplane is Nothing. To BUILD One is Something.

Vekkinho Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Such a beautiful plane, I really like the curves on the nose just in front of intakes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I'm looking at that video with the SU-27UB and I see no difference in the fuel gauge mark with T above, between idle and burner, what am I missing? I'm looking at the engine run up to "mil" at 2:29 Look at the fuel gauge at 0:56. T column reads 2.8 tons P column reads 3.4 tons [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
joey45 Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Is it for real? Yes. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

mvsgas Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Look at the fuel gauge at 0:56. T column reads 2.8 tons P column reads 3.4 tons But it does not change with throttle movement. I believe you, I just don't understand it Beside , I posted that before I remember the switch need it to be moved to "T" position. Where is that switch in the SU-27?

Vekkinho Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 You probably heard there's the P/T switch in MiG-29 but I'm not sure if there's the same thing in Su-27 or these columns work independently... Someone with more Su-27 knowledge should answer this... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
