ENG FEED setup during the AAR
-
hi !
I noticed the Figure 6.1, Chapter 6 ,of BEM(BASIC EMPLOYMENT MANUAL F-16C) shows the ENG FEED is set to FWD during AAR operation.
Is it true in the real world?

I tried it in sim …no noticeable differences ,maybe it is to take strain of the pumps who knows would like to know the answer aswell

Could be aft tank is low. Time to use fwd tank.

The figure 6.1 in that manual is just for illustrative purposes, just to show where the panel is in the cockpit and how it’s switches and knobs look like, doesn’t indicate the position it should be for AAR.
best regards.

Go with the above because the AAR procedure in the manual I have does not list any step to set that dial to FWD.

Equally, there is nothing in the checklists that would suggest that the ENG FEED needs to be set to anything in particular. If it were required it would definitely show up there.
