Hello,
1. I know the F-16 has two hydraulic systems according to F4AF, A and B, right? The A controls the speed brakes and fuel flow proportioner and B landing gear, NWS, gun, wheel brakes, JFS recharge, drag chute system, and air refueling. Is this correct?
2. Now, in case the engine fails in the air the EPU will provide emergency hydraulic power only to A system. The wheel brakes and the NWS still work in F4AF after a flameout landing, altough in the manual says the B system is not working if the engine is not working. Do the wheel brakes and NWS work in a real F-16?
3. And why does the EPU power the fuel proportioner if the engine is dead? Why do I need fuel flow then?
Any help will be apprecited.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
