New Start-up procedure in latest Beta Patch ?

Also, switching OFF the FBW BIT test after it has passed (green light) will make the light flicker momentarily, and then turn on again until the cover is closed. Expected behaviour?

Yes. The light will only turn off after the FBW BIT has passed and the cover is closed.

Excellent. Was wondering because it is in contrast with the AP's BIT test behaviour.

Since we talk about startup procedure.

1) Can someone explain the step (right instrument panel) ''Electric pumps (all three of them) Test then off ''.

2) Is there a formula to calculate the bingo fuel setting?

1. Presumably one turns on each pump in a solitary configuration one at a time and looks for indication that it is working. The BP.G and BP.D caution lights should help to test those two pumps. Perhaps the starter pump can be heard audibly.

Clearly this test cannot be done without electrical power.

2. Bingo would be the fuel required to fly from current position to home then to alternate and land with X where X is probably around the 500kg warning light level.

This is terribly approximate math but 7300kg fuel is 1800nm ferry range or about 4kg per nm. So a 100nm trip back home and then 30nm to alternate with 500kg reserve is...

1020kg bingo.

I can't seem to find this magical fuel shut off valve. :)

Can someone point me in the right direction?

fuel cutoff is just below the right fuel pump and right near vent selector (its a switch with a cover)

Thanks...just in case anyone else needs a quick reference, I found this in the manual after I asked...it figures.

I remember when i first got the plane, ALT1 and ALT2 were off on loading the plane and had to be turned on manually; now they're on already. Is there are reason behind this ? :)

Apparently that's how it is in the real aircraft.

You are not supposed to turn them off unless in an emergency.

Small question- where is the FBW reset switch ? i landed a trimmed planed and needed to reset it due to DECOL after rearm and refuel (engine was off)

To the far left, way below the radar panel, then you get some emergency switches, and then you have the FBW test/control switches below a red cover.

Indeed, but it is not the answer.

The FBW reset is next to the Gains switch. Not sure it's modelled.

The trim reset (which is what you're looking for, T_A), use the AP standby.

FBW BIT must have been made(since engine start) and result must be Green(OK) and cover closed after test performed to prevent pilot from taking off with FBW in test mode

Hi,

Is there a sensor on the FBW cover in the real aircraft?

What's your best guess? :)

It seems that most of the covers don't have status sensors (open/close), this is why I am asking.

Is this the only one in this case?
