What ever happened to looking at the switch? Don't make this complicated. Also, it might not be a good idea to have a warning indicator for fuel transfer. 1) you will train yourself to listen for it, then it will fail on day and the fuel might not be the first thing you check because of desensitization. 2) after you forget the transfer it once (with no warning system), you wont again for a very long time.
Its always a good thing to develop good habits when flying an airplane and relying on mechanisms makes you lazy and complacent. I too have 4 lights. Oil pressure, alt, flaps and canopy lock. They still don't substitute for a preflight or in flight check, but will grab your attention if something happens between your scans, Matt Craig Williams <kr2seaf...@yahoo.com> wrote: >Mark > >Ok, here is my reasoning.
