So, unlike airliners like the Boeings, the fuel flow is enabled BEFORE the engines are turning? I assume there must be an interlock some place that prevents the fuel valve actually opening causing wastage/flooding/fire risk?
Ah, that's less dodgy than I thought, then -- there's a interlock to prevent accidentally cutting off when pulling back to idle.Quote:
When ready for shutdown, the levers are brought to idle, and then you pull up on the idle cutoff levers, located under the lever knobs. Then the levers are brought back to Cutoff and they shut down.
Thanks for the clarification,
Pete
