This afternoon has seen some utter ****e posted on this thread!
Completely agree Sid... It seems to me the same non helicopter pilots ask a specific 135 technical question, are given an answer, ignore the answer then ask the same crap over and over...
Pump switches again...
Yes, all 4 look the same but when you
switch on a prime pump
PRIME PUMP comes up on the CAD. When you
switch off an XFER pump
F PUMP FWD/AFT comes up on the CAD, even I can tell the difference... (as I can read English, just about) and despite earlier suppositions, pilots do tend to look at, and read any amber cautions on the CAD. Therefore, what could cause a switch mix up to go unnoticed, a CAD fault perhaps??? If not a CAD fault then perhaps the prime pumps were on for a reason!
Out of interest, from an earlier discussion, do any 135 pilots here routinely fly with the
prime pumps on all the time? I don't know of anyone who does.
