dr_anthony Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Fuel pumps provide sufficient pressure on high altitude. On ground pressure from suction feed is enough for engine work without fuel pump/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litjan Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 ...and before you spend the time trying - we did not model "thrust degradation/flameout" at high altitude, there is simply not enough hard data to model this accurately. So you can turn off the fuel pumps even at high altitude with no ill effect. You most likely can in the real aircraft, too. The manual says "may occur"...
