No correct air pressure, no >go... Absolutely correct. A 2kpa drop in the bypass pressure of the secondary relief valve in the main feed to the reheat unit will create a low level pulsatile feedback which causes oscillations of the control circuit of the primary turbine section. This results in an acute loss of thrust leading to activation of the seatbelt warning light and deployment of the ejector seat. This has been such a persistent problem in the Viggen IVa series that they are considering replacing the push-on soft rubber tubes with braided hoses and threaded connectors. Hope this helps. Chas --
