Underwood Posted Monday at 01:34 PM Posted Monday at 01:34 PM Brendan, the Bypass is not to allow normal operation via the mechanical pump when the facet pump is turned off but rather to allow an alternate path for fuel delivery should the Facet pump fail in a manner that it became blocked I don't know of any reports that a Facet pump has failed closed though and had about 500 hours on a previous aircraft with an inline facet and no bypass so admittedly the bypass is possibly entirely superfluous 2
