Vinny003 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 Hi, guys!I got a couple of questions regarding the Saab 340A. I looked at the manual but I still don't understand how the CTOT works. I turn on the 2 CTOT switches and turn the CTOT rotary to 110% before takeoff, right, another question, I saw the refuel annunciation light on the overhead panel, how can I get it to light? Thanks!

Goran_M Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 You're not operating the CTOT correctly. You need to set the dial FIRST, and then when you're ready to take off, you engage the system by turning the switches on. Then move the power levers to the 64° position (I think that's what the figure is. It's been a while). That's when CTOT will increase power to the desired torque that you preset on the dial. There is no custom refueling option on the Saab. You refuel it using X-Planes default fuel and payload manager. For that reason, the annunciator will not light up. Quote
Vinny003 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Posted April 2, 2014 Hi, Goran!The custom refueling option is the feature request for the future update of the Saab 340A. For the CTOT to work it is 64 degrees, I saw that in the manual. Approximately where is 64 degrees on the throttle quadrant? Thanks! I'm learning a lot on this!!! Cheers, Vincent Quote
JGregory Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 Approximately where is 64 degrees on the throttle quadrant?Use the pop-up throttle quadrant to view the positions of the throttles and condition levers. Quote
FloB Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 ... or just push the throttle gently forward and monitor the torque, you'll see and hear when CTOT kicks in. Flo Quote

Vinny003 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 Hi, guys!I see something in the Saab 340A cockpit that is interesting. Those 2 things, one above the standby artificial horizon and the other one above the annunciation panel, what are those things used for? Please see attached. Thanks! Cheers, Vincent Quote
JGregory Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) They are lights. Edited April 15, 2014 by JGregory Quote
