I have four Lockheed L1011's with the ribbon panel from Mitch's Panel Shop and when I take off I fly for a little while when my engines shut down. What I need to know is when the yellow bar is present on the fuel valve switches, does that mean the the valve is open or closed. Or is there some other reason that the engines shut down.

Hi Flipside,

I'd expect that when the Yellow bar on the switch is inline with the lines either side OR below/above the switch, then that valve is open.

That is the way it's been on some aircraft I have.

Think of it being a pathway with swing bridges.
