stinger2k2 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hi, The Embraer Phenom 300 has a switch named "Pusher cutout". Anyone know what this is? Cheers Stinger Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Looks like it's part of the Cockpit safety procedures. Pusher=tug?? Inadvertent pusher actuation?? Push it! See what happens!;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 No idea. Pusher could be stick pusher. Auto pushes stick forward when stall is detected. (if it's that I wouldn't cut it out, there was a crash once where a plane retracted 1 Notch of flaps instead of retracting gear by mistake. Stick pusher was disabled, so did not push nose down when stall started. Pilot, unaware as copilot was the one that retracted the flaps, noticed too late and lost control of the aircraft. I wish I could remember what reason they had for disabling the stick pusher. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 In real aviation fixed wing aircraft might have this feature. Simular to 'stick shaker' in that it activates when parameters point to an IMPENDING stall (loud alarm). But the pilot can manually deactivate it using this switch before take off or before flare if either is going to be 'extreme'. I am sure there are 1,000's of stories about this 'gadget' in real flying forums. Like the difference between Boeing and Airbus (which used 'fly by wire' system). Lots to read on it. Never used it in Sim. I learned something new today.
