Tiger-II Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Hi, I was flying quite a bit online this evening in a single aircraft for several hours. The first few times I re-armed/refuelled the chute was packed and worked at the next landing. From the 3rd landing, this no longer worked. I had also damaged my jet (tyres) on the previous takeoff, so did a repair. After this, the chute worked on the next flight, but after that it didn't work again. I shutdown completely and re-armed/refuelled, but nothing. Is this bugged or am I missing something?

Grodlund Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Make sure you pout the chute switch back into neutral position immediately after cutting it. Switch up to deploy chute. Switch down to cut it.

J20Stronk Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I think you ran out of pneumatic air. For some reason that isn't being refilled on rearm or repair. (Which is kinda dangerous since the chute and brakes need that to work.)
AeriaGloria Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Are the brakes pneumatic? I’ve tried and tried and tried and never see them decrease air pressure Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Tiger-II Posted May 14, 2020 Author Posted May 14, 2020 I thought the brakes were hydraulic? Pneumatic air pressure...now there's something I don't even know where to find the instrument...

Tiger-II Posted May 14, 2020 Author Posted May 14, 2020 No aircraft were lost in the determination of the Board's findings... *ahem* 1) It bleeds pneumatic pressure the entire time the switch is in DEPLOY or CUT 2) If you use a key bind, it goes OFF -> DEPLOY -> CUT, using lots of pressure 3) If you click the switch, you can return it to center to save pressure 4) Once NORMAL system is exhausted, there is no way to use the emergency system, even though present 5) Wheel brakes are hydraulically powered.

J20Stronk Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Ah ok. I thought the brakes used PN because there was a reddit post of someone being unable to use the Brakes after expending their PN because of the drogue chute. Regardless, PN not being replenished and EMER PN not being usable needs to be fixed
Tiger-II Posted May 14, 2020 Author Posted May 14, 2020 Regardless, PN not being replenished and EMER PN not being usable needs to be fixed Agreed. Is it automatic switch-over to the emergency system? I don't see any other switches except the one we have for the drouge chute.

L0op8ack Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 main pneumatic and emergence pneumatic are independent to each other. brake chute use main pneumatic, and the switch in DEPLOY/CUT position should NOT MORE THAN 1 min.

Shrike88 Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Ah ok.

Regardless, PN not being replenished and EMER PN not being usable needs to be fixed So is there currently no way to recharge these systems ? Assuming not engine bleed, and if a bottle would be a ground service function ? not charged during rearming ? Similar to nitrogen systems for gear door emergency opening on some aircraft. etc.
