Like a few engineers I spent 30 years adjusting Bendix PTG and FCUs, mainly rectifying misrigged installations on 206 / 105 / 355 Helicopters.

Pilots seem to ask more detailed questions about fuel system components because they are constantly having to "adjust" the engine trim whilst flying, taking off or landing due to engine control rigging being incorrect.

Once an engine control system has been correctly rigged and adjusted for engine characteristics (a twin may have two different engine powers due to having a fresher engine on one side) a pilot (especially low hour) should be able to take off and fly around and hardly ever touch the engine beep switches, concentrating on looking out the window and not always at the RPM or torque gauges.

I have a digital version ( unamended) 10W2 operation and maintenance manual and 10W4 parts manual if you need one, but it is too large to e mail at 53mb on g mail, until somebody tells me how.
