SASless;
Can some of you 135 Pilots tell us what would have been seen on the Caution Panel and other indications as the full level began to decrease towards empty in the Supply Tanks.
Sless, a pic from the depths of this thread!

What you should have in the Glasgow situation is the CAD caution advisory display (upper part of CPDS) displaying as previously mentioned in my last post.

The lower screen would be displaying 1 in the left supply tank with a thin blue line, 76 in the main tank with the blue box somewhere around 1/4 way down, and the right supply tank would be displaying 0 with no blue in the box.



The pic above is the ac shutdown at MLA night, taken not long before I originally posted it.
At these sort of levels in flight, the aft transfer pump would be off, with the fwd pump on.
When commencing the final approach (change of ac attitude) the rear pump would be switched on and forward switched off.

Of course the pumps can be left as they are (rear off, front on) with the expectation of the master caution light coming on, the beeps sounding and the FUEL PUMP FWD advisory display on the CAD.
