Operating Limits & Restrictions - BMS F-16C/D 4.34 Flight Manual

4.5 Operating Limits & Restrictions
JFS:
JFS start limits for air-start: less than 20000 feet, less than 400 knots.
JFS operating time: 4 minutes. Past 4 minutes of operation the JFS may overheat on the ground.
Overheat is indicated by a 1 hertz (once per second) flashing JFS light. Stop the JFS to allow cooling.
When JFS light stops flashing the JFS has cooled enough to be started again.
Failure to let the JFS cool may break the JFS. JFS failure is indicated by a 2 hertz flashing JFS light.
The JFS does not shut off automatically during air-start. While it will not overheat in the air the pilot
should switch it off when it is no longer needed.
Moving canopy during JFS running may result in a failed JFS start or premature JFS shutdown due to
a reduction in electrical power available to the JFS. Close the canopy before switching the JFS on.

REMARKS
If FTIT rises past 750°C, expect a hot start
If Oil remains under 15 psi, expect engine
failure and /or fire
At MIL and above, oil pressure must increase
15 psi minimum above idle oil pressure
-
-
Oil pressure must increase as RPM increases
