Habu1967 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I am flying a trip with the default King Air 350. Normal startup, gauges all green. When passing about 40 % power I get a Left Low Oil Pressure Master Warning. Gauges still green. Back off the power the warning goes out. Throttle back up and the warning is back. I have reset all faults in the aircraft failure options but still get the same indicator. Probably something simple I am missing but your help would be appreciated.

mrzippy Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just to keep the records straight, you are talking about the default King Air 350? Did you make any changes to it? 40% power...what gauge are you looking at? The only gauge that reads below 40 is the torque gauge when at idle. I saw nothing in the aircraft.cfg that might affect oil pressure. I would suspect a fault still exists in the failure option. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Habu1967 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks for your reply. Yes, this is the default King Air. There has been no modifications to the aircraft. The 40% was an estimate based on throttle position on my Saitek X52 controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Are you loading a saved flight? If so, try starting a new flight. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?

Habu1967 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Good thought Stringbean but, Tried a new free flight from a different airport and I get the same thing. I tried setting the parking brake and running up the engines and got the same result. However, I noted this time that the autofeather lights come on at the same time.

mrzippy Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just to be sure a left engine oil leak fault is not still engaged, have you tried another aircraft like the Baron? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu1967 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just tried the Baron with no problems. Strange indeed. I will continue to poke around and see what I can find. Starting to wonder if it is somehow tied to the autofeather. I will try again with the autofeather no armed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I've just read on a couple of different forums about the left engine oil pressure warning. One guy said it happened at 90% throttle and another at 100% it lasted until reducing throttle a little bit. I tried it and confirmed at 100 % just after wheels up. Still don't know why it happens to you under 50%. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu1967 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Tried it with a slow application of power and found the same thing. Apparently there is something amiss in the 350 programming. Guess I will just have to be more gentle with the throttles. Thanks for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
