Ed,
Thanks, just after I hit the send button I thought of the reason for both to
be on.
Joe.

Joe, the principal reason for using both pumps on take-off and Landing is
should one fail, the time it takes to recognize the problem, decided what
has caused it and take corrective action (turn on the other pump),
precious
seconds can be lost. Which if you are close to the ground can made a
crucial difference in the out come. I strongly recommend running both
pumps for such critical phases of flight - you can turn one off when you
reach a comfortable altitude (or have landed).
