Rongor Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Doing a cold start on ramp, I am following the shore based procedures as printed on the manual, beginning on page 280. Step 5 is the Throttle quadrant test... Described flow doesn't work, as 1. the JPTL caution light already comes up in the LTS TEST of step 2. 2. the switch doesn't disengage 3. there is no audible caution JPTL light remains on. JPTL switch remains on. any ideas? Edited May 21, 2022 by Rongor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroka Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 So as I understand it, the limiter on the AV8B is turned off when the throttle is pushed forward to the max (there is a sort of soft/elastic detente which requires a certain forward pressure to trip). This is (currently) not simulated but depending on your throttle you can replicate it. I have a Virpil with a physical afterburner detente that I don’t use on the AV8B. So my throttle goes to max when I hit the detente, but I also assigned that region of the throttle just past the detente (via a virtual button) to JPTL off switch. Just one way of doing it.

Rongor Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 If it is not simulated, why then did they include it in the checklist? Without marking it with their symbology from page 16 This would save confusion... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
