3.2. WARNING LIGHT ANALYSIS
3.2.1. ENG FIRE
Illumination of the ENG FIRE should be followed by immediately retarding the throttle
to idle. The likely cause is engine compartment fire.
If there are other signs of engine fire such as visible smoke/flames, FTIT high,
OVERHEAT light on, engine response sluggish or non-existent and if the warning
light remains on eject immediately.
If there are no other signs then the cause is probably a malfunction in the fire
detection system. In that case land as soon as possible.
3.2.2. TO/LDG CONFIG
This warning light refers to a wrong configuration for landing or takeoff.
On the ground with the landing gear handle up the warning light means that the
Trailing Edge Flaps (TEF) are not fully down. That hardly ever happens in BMS,
which is good because you should abort the aircraft.
In the air with the landing gear handle up the light comes on to warn the pilot that the aircraft is not
correctly configured for landing. The light comes on when the following conditions occur:
1. Below 10000 feet.
2. Airspeed less than 190 knots.
3. 250 fpm descent or more.
The VMS warning horn will sound. To address the problem stop your rate of descent and
accelerate, or lower the landing gear handle if you intend to land.
In the air with the landing handle down the light indicates a malfunction in the gear, or in the TEF.
To work out where the problem lies first check the individual gear lights. If all three of them are
green then the gear is fully down and locked and the problem is related to the TEF. In that case
land using normal AOA (about 20 knots faster than normal).
If one of the gear lights is not green that gear is not fully down and/or locked. Refer to Landing
Emergencies chapter 3.8.3 LANDING WITH GEAR UNSAFE/UP later in this section.
3.2.3. CANOPY
Illumination of this warning light indicates that the canopy hooks or locks are not
secured or there has been a loss of cabin pressure. Descend below 10000 feet and
land as soon as possible.
3.2.4. FLCS
The FLCS warning light comes on whenever there is a PFL warning message relating
to the FLCS. Refer to the Pilot Fault List message.
