Fuel Boost Pump Switches
. Toggle the Boost Pumps. These
are not essential to run the engines.
5)
Fuel Dump Switch
. This switch toggles the fuel dump system. When
operated, fuel will be released from the left tank first until it is empty,
then the right tank until it is empty. The fuel will be jettisoned from the tail
of the aircraft and will take around 10 minutes to drain both tanks from
full. A stream of atomized fuel will be visible at the rear of the aircraft.
Only works when airborne for obvious reasons.
6) and 7)
Engine Starter Switches
. The Hawkeye does not actually
have starter switches as the engines are run up using a ground starter
unit. These switches have been added for convenience only and are not
authentic
, the real switches should control ‘Fuel Enrich’.
