Alarm on engine shut down

Featured Replies

My last few flights while shutting down at the gate i get an alarm, sounds like the fire bell, but from a distance. Happens after moving the fuel levers to cut-off.

 

Useing fs2crew.

 

Any ideas anyone?

It's the warning on the jet bridge to the rampies, letting them know the bridge (and moreover the wheels below it) are moving.

Hi

Turn on your APU, then switch your electrical power over to it before shutting down your engines.

 

Not sure in the real world when the APU would be switched on, taxing to the gate or in flight on approach etc

Hi

Its usually switched on as you leave the runway. The alarm i think you are refrering to is the ''running off battery power alarm'', and its not that, but thanks for the sugestion Tony.
