Flameout @ 600lb
-
So I believe this is the new possible reality now, sorry I don’t remember :rtfm:
600lb is still a lot of fuel, but it would be hard to accurately read fuel levels in a moving tank. To some degree. 2-4% error margin ?
Is this a reasonable assumption or might it have been a problem elsewhere.

T.O. BMS1F-16CM-1
Please note, as the reservoir tanks start to empty the possibility of negative Gs starving the engine of fuel increases significantly. Avoid negative G loads with less than 1000 lbs. of fuel remaining. -

600lbs is certainly not a lot of fuel for a jet. It is about 10min of flight or 1min afterburner.
-
I’d have thought straight and level, 600lbs should be fine…how big is the reservoir? Not that big, if I recall.
If maneuvering violently or pushing negative GS then that would make a bit more sense, start to starve the FFP and thence the engine…

C’mon, 10 mins it’s a lot for fighter - it’s 3 touch and goes plus taxi back.

You guys have never been in an airplane with a fuel gauges that low

lol
You won’t be able to taxi back, you’ll most likely swim -
Ive never been in an airplane with fuel gauges that HIGH…
-
Yes but you have probably never been in an aircraft with a PPH value that high either
-
I don’t think I’ve been in an aircraft with a pph gauge, for that matter!

I was about 7 miles out from landing, I banked gently to line up for an overhead pass, looked at the gauge, 600lb, “I’ll be good I thinks” and she flames out. Stay cool.
No overhead pass, I vigorously yank & bank to bleed speed , drop the gear, boards out full & head for the wrong end of the main, no radio so I land between two A-10 just lifting off. Glide Slope was terrible. And a bit fast.
I’m getting a bit smug just before I lose it from to much rudder swapping side to miss the last A-10, I waved, he gives me the finger. Well I saved the frame, mostly. Except for all that landing gear stuff.
But we got our ground targets :woohoo: And a Success.
-
My thoughts at least, shouldn’t have flamed out then.
-
Nice landing Shadow
Anyone you can walk away from is a good one
-
By memory, minimum fuel (after diverting) is about 1000lbs
Safety fuel is about 800 … Below you are just and simply in emergency. -

At 600lbs you can air restart no problem I think
No radio ? Why did the EPU not start ?

BTW, is fuel consumption by JFS properly modeled? How many lbs per minutes the JFS is set to burn in the code?

JFS uses fuel?

JFS uses fuel?
JFS receives fuel at all times regardless of the MASTER fuel switch position.
-
actually, the JFS does not receive fuel when the tanks are empty.
-
But the tanks aren’t empty when there’s fuel in them.
