Lastflight I saw something unusual.
Shortly after take-off at about 300' I noticed the fuel pressure had gone into caution range just slightly below 2.2psi. Thinking a fuel supply problem I checked the fuse, fuel switch on cockpit floor and thought about a possible engine failure. The engine ran fine.
I momentarily loosened the headset and could hear the electric fuel pump.
I lowered the nose at pattern altitude and noticed the fuel pressure begin to return to a normal reading where it stayed, as in higher on the green band. I can't quite remember what a 'normal' number is on my plane other than well above 2.2psi in the green. There was no audible caution warning or any other caution.
Being fairly new to RV-12 (SLSA with 67 hours) I'm wondering if any of you more experienced guys have seen this?
Thanks.
