A FLCS fault is detected. Refer to the PFL display. See 3.4. PFL Analysis.
A failure of the electrical system is detected. Check ELEC panel for illuminated light(s)
and press the ELEC CAUTION RESET button.
Single generator failures are not coded for the moment in
BMS, so when the
ELEC SYS caution light comes on check the relevant ELEC lights and press
the ELEC CAUTION RESET to try to reset the fault. If it does not reset, land
as soon as possible.
Probe heater failure or monitoring system failure. Probeheat is not fully implemented in
BMS and not yet necessary since there are no possible icing conditions. The system can
be tested with the PROBE HEAT switch on the TEST panel. PROBE HEAT should be turned on in
flight but is not mandatory in BMS. As such illumination of the PROBE HEAT caution light has no
consequence and no further action is required.
The C ADC caution light is not implemented in BMS. It does come on during the MAL &
IND LTS test though.
The STORES CONFIG switch on the gear panel (left auxiliary console) is not in the
correct position for the current loadout. To extinguish the caution light simply toggle the
STORES CONFIG switch.
This caution light is not implemented in BMS. It refers to an Automatic Terrain Following
failure. It has no consequence in BMS. It does come on during the MAL & IND LTS test.
The FWD FUEL LOW caution light comes on whenever the forward reservoir contains
less than 400 pounds of fuel (C model) or 250 pounds of fuel (D model).
The AFT FUEL LOW caution light comes on whenever the aft reservoir contains less than
400 pounds of fuel (C model) or 250 pounds of fuel (D model). Note: engine flameout due
to fuel starvation may happen in 4.34 even if the fuel quantity does not show empty tanks,
especially with negative G pushovers. Fuel gauges are now as inaccurate as they are in real life.
Engine fault(s) detected. Refer to the PFL displayed message and press F-ACK button to
reset the ENGINE FAULT caution light. Perform fault recall with a further press of F-ACK
to determine if the failure condition still exists. See chapter 3.4. PFL Analysis.
Engine failures are hard to come by in BMS unless due to battle damage.
The SEC caution light illuminates whenever the engine is operating in secondary mode.
Check the position of the ENG CONT switch on the ENG & JET START panel (left
console). If the switch is on PRI either an automatic transfer to SEC has happened (this is not
implemented in BMS), or your switch must be in SEC. In SEC the nozzle remains closed and
afterburner is inhibited.
Temperature of the fuel going to the engine or engine oil is excessive.
