TC - but as I understand it, the pumps have a run-dry capability of 20 mins - more than enough for a short job in the hover, especially when you know you are low on fuel.

It seems that a poor design feature has been 'worked-around' and it has been seen as 'better practice' to turn the pumps off and deliberately cancel the warnings - that is not a healthy ethos.

Handy = yes, I agree, it seems the visual warning captions remain -I don't know if it is a single gong or a repetitive one.
