Narrative:

Departing isp on a far 135 flight with an FAA inspector in the copilot's seat the 2 red low fuel flow lights illuminated and then went out. The secondary indications which are the fuel flow indicators, were operating normally during the entire event showing that I had sufficient fuel being delivered to the engines. This flight went on to its final destination with no further problems. I could not abort because there would have not been enough runway to land safely. I think there was a problem with the pressure switches that operate the lights and it needs to be repaired.

Title: AIR TAXI HAS LOW FUEL FLOW LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON TKOF.

Narrative: DEPARTING ISP ON A FAR 135 FLT WITH AN FAA INSPECTOR IN THE COPLT'S SEAT THE 2 RED LOW FUEL FLOW LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THEN WENT OUT. THE SECONDARY INDICATIONS WHICH ARE THE FUEL FLOW INDICATORS, WERE OPERATING NORMALLY DURING THE ENTIRE EVENT SHOWING THAT I HAD SUFFICIENT FUEL BEING DELIVERED TO THE ENGS. THIS FLT WENT ON TO ITS FINAL DEST WITH NO FURTHER PROBS. I COULD NOT ABORT BECAUSE THERE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH RWY TO LAND SAFELY. I THINK THERE WAS A PROB WITH THE PRESSURE SWITCHES THAT OPERATE THE LIGHTS AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED.
