Ziptie Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Set a Bingo prior to dumping. The dump will automatically shut off at your bingo. +1 The fuel dump switch is on the left console panel, just aft of the throttle - that section of the left console panel is labeled "FUEL."

Hog_No32 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Set a Bingo prior to dumping. The dump will automatically shut off at your bingo. Setting BINGO (during startup) is always a good practice even when you don‘t anticipate to dump later. Especially in a jet which has as short legs as our lovely Hornet:smilewink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

launchedsquid Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 You should actually set your bingo fuel differently for different situations. In CNATRA P-826, Chapter 2, 202 FENCE CHECKS, 1 Fence In, d. BINGO – Set to Joker fuel. and 2 Fence Out, d. BINGO – Set to divert fuel. This manual is specifically regarding BFM in the T-45 but I'd imagine the training received is largely transferred to the F/A-18C. As always, if you know better then please correct me.

Terry T. Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 how do you know? Jonnie2bad is genuinely concerned for your safety. If he tells you, he'll have to kill you, in close with guns. VMFA-122 Crusaders [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
