[simpits-tech] Falcon 4 Engine Start Fault Help !

[Joseph Fagner]

I've never heard of that problem before.  Are you doing a ramp start from a
mission or from the trainer?

All you Falcon 4 drivers, this one is for you !

During a normal ground engine start, just as the rpm reaches 20%, I press
the idle detent and advance the throttle and got an "Eng Fail" light. After
discontinuing the start, I could not reset the failure light and thus can
not initiate a restart (JFS would not turn engine). Reading the manual,
the best I can come up with is that I exceeded the 1 min. precharge on the
JFS and the only way to recharge it is to manual pump it back up. 

1. Is there a way to reset the warning and initiate a restart ?

2. If the JFS has to be manually recharged can that be done though the sim
?

Thanks

Francisco
