Jascha Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 (edited) Thanks. I haven't seen that before. From the top YT comment, I gather it has been posted here somewhere already. It's worth noting that this is a procedure with cold-start using external (ground) power source. Edited February 13, 2024 by Jascha
admiki Posted February 13, 2024 Posted February 13, 2024 There is no difference in procedure, except for DC switch to isolate battery from APU starter.

Dataduffy Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 great video. Thanks for sharing. Quick nerdy question. at 3:48 in the video, he switches on the two batteries, selects "power from battery", but then switches on Tank 1 & 2 fuel pumps before checking the battery and bus voltages. He then switches the tanks off again, before hooking up the external power. Any idea why he powered up the tanks? Is it to create some current draw on the battery for the tests? As I said... nerdy question, but I am genuinely interested.

Is my assumption correct that switching on the pumps is to create a load on the battery for the check? Can you also please point me to where I can find the checklist you refer to? I have looked through the quick start guide again, but I can't seem to find it. Probably me being blind! Many thanks again.

It’s not in the guide, I am referencing real world checklist I likely shouldn’t share here Fuel pumps need battery power to work. So you are checking both batteries and that the fuel pumps work. When you turn on fuel pumps, green annunciator lights above them turn on. So you are checking that both battery and fuel pumps work 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

JetCat Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 In the video there is one difference between our glorious Hind simulator and the real Hind, the engine gauge has two kg/cm² indicators. Does anyone know what this instrument shows that is covered in our virtual Hind?

There are many different configurations even for same variant when it comes to instrument panel warning lights and gauges. Notice they say 0, so not hooked up 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Your assumption is exactly correct. If you check the battery voltage with no load, they sometimes show a higher voltage than they really have. Turning on the two fuel pumps is purely for the purpose of putting an electrical load on the batteries in order to make the voltage check more accurate. 3 2
