7 Airplane and Systems Description
Systems 7 - 47
In cruise with engine speeds of 4,200 … 5,800 rpm the fuel pressure
will be 43.5 psi +/- 3 psi (3.0 bar +/- 0.2 bar). Lower pressure is ac-
ceptable at lower engine speed. During switching of the fuel pumps,
the fuel pressure may drop momentarily, but will recover immediately.
Once all tests have been performed satisfactory, the airplane is ready
for departure.
NOTE
All warnings must have expired after the engine test.
The orange status light of the TEST button and the red
background light of the ENGINE START button must
turn off. Should this not be the case, the planned flight
must be cancelled. A ferry flight might be possible with
special permission, ask REMOS for advice.
The engine lanes LANE A and LANE B are always active as soon as
the ignition switch is set to ENGINE. Status of the lanes is shown by
the red LANE A/B ALARM lights in the lane switches in the center
panel. During normal operation, these warning lights are off. Flashing
or permanently lighting status light(s) indicate a lane malfunction, see
section 3
–
emergency procedures.
Should a malfunction occur on one or both lanes, it should be tried to
resolve this problem by resetting the lane in question. To reset a lane,
press the corresponding pushbutton LANE A/B RESET (warning light
at the same time). The switch comes out now app. 1/8 inch and lights
up permanently now. After a couple of seconds the switch is pushed
in again, causing the lane to reboot. Rebooting takes about 3 seconds.
Should one lane cause problems permanently, e.g. rough engine run-
ning, it may be switched off until landing. The two lane switches are
electronically protected against each other in order to prevent inad-
vertent shut-down of the engine by deactivating both lanes at the same
time. Only the one lane whose button has been pressed first will be
deactivated. Even with both switches pressed the second lane will only
be deactivated when the first lane is switched on.
