Compared to other jet aircraft, the F-16 is very simple to start. No ignitor switch or bleed valves to turn on. Nope. Just two switches throttle and wait and watch. Check out my vids, more F-16 stuff from the cockpit

"Start up of the F-16C is so simple" Simple?!?! Simple would be a great big green button saying "GO"

He does two "Run-Ups" one for the SEC check, since in SEC the engine is controlled by the MEC. He runs it up due to a PS3 (comppressor pressure line that runs to the MEC and controls the SEC mode torque motor. If there is a leak in the line, he will not get a throttle response. And the other Run-Up is to ops check his Emergency Power Unit with bleed air instead of hydrazine to make sure that s working correctly.

gah! I don't understand why they put the stick on the right side now-a-days in most modern us fighters instead of between the legs. It just doesn't feel natural, more like a video game. F-16, F-22, F-35, etc. Just feels wrong. But then again I'm not flying them.

To shut down the engine all you have to do is place the throttle in "cutoff". You don't touch the fuel master unless its an emergency. The "runup" of the engine is called a sec check, its to check the secondary control of the engine if the DEC were to fail. Check out my vids, its more f-16 stuff from the cockpit. I filmed it in Iraq

well going by falcon 4 allied force wich reproduces every thing falcon, it takes about 30 seconds to shut the engine off and thats it. once your engine goes off, you loose all power. you have batt, but thats really there to start the engine and must have avionics. just takes one flick of a toggle switch on the far left pannel to shut off the engine. called the master fuel pump.

the f-16c is the most modern day fighter besides the raptor. the start up sequence is all switch, no key. reving the engine dont take hardly any jet fuel at all. he's reving it to see if his throttle works right. part of the pre-flight checks he is doing. i know some other countries have the falcon(viper as the pilots call it) and the falcon without external drop tanks can carry a max of 7200 lbs of fuel at any time. with external over 13000 lbs. but that puts drag on the plane.

Wow the MFD's look way more digital in Falcon 4.0 Allied Force. Those MFD's look like Atari. |
