But a fuel sensor out of range SHOULD NOT CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO BOOT LOOP.
Why should a fuel sensor out of range deprive you of your EHSI and
attitude indicator? The read outs for the instruments out of range
should be flagged and a suitable warning message generated - not the
loss of your entire IFR panel.


I agree. I wonder if it was just the fuel sensor that caused the
repeated boots or if something else was contributing.
