Art.....what happens if you simply leave the Transfer Pumps ON....and never turn them off?
Omit what the procedures are in the book....explain to us any real reason the Pumps need to be switched off. Risk of fire, harm to the pump, loss of lubrication due lack of fuel going through the pump? Any Thermal Switches on the Pump to shut the Pump off if it gets hot?
I submit One can turn the Pumps on after the engines are running and never turn them off until after Engine Shutdown and no dangerous condition will occur.
Am I wrong and if so....why?
@SAS
Max. allowed "dry run time" is 20 minutes. Although, procedure in RFM says "turn it OFF" if yellow light is ON (CAD), you donīt need to hurry with that.
You are absolutely right.
