So if either low or high boost causes the engine to die what do you do if the mechanical pump fails in flight? Or is it only a problem if the boost pump is running in tandem with the mechanical pump? (I don't fly behind an IO-550, just curious.)

Chat,

I fly a norm. aspirated LIV and never use the pump, hi or lo for takeoff or landing. It loads up the engine and causes it to die - not desirable.

You guys don’t turn on low boost for takeoff and landing?
