A couple or six questions.
1.For the engineers.
What is the function of and the criteria for the cautions F QTY DEGR & F QTY FAIL ?
2. For the 135 pilots.
If the CAD was to fail, where would you expect to see the fuel quantity displayed?
If the F QTY FAIL caution appeared, what would you base your remaining flight time on?
What cautions are lost with a loss of the CAD?
3. For all pilots
Would you necessarily report an instrument failure to ATC if you didn't think it worthy of a PAN/Mayday call?
4. For non pilots/casual observers.
You are driving from Edinburgh to London for a meeting, a distance of 405 miles (M6), and at the start of your journey your car computer says that you have a range of 450 miles. As your journey progresses, the fuel consumption remains consistant with the initial computer output;
If your fuel gauge and computers range output failed at Milton Keynes, would you continue your trip to the meeting in London?
