0x07AA: EXTERNAL_POWER_AVAILABLE [1 byte]
0x07AB: EXTERNAL_POWER_ON [1 byte]

This has been added as requesting these indexed simvars in aircraft that use the new FuelSystem
module that have less than the number of pumps requested will produce continual errors in the
MSFS developers console.
The default value for this parameter is 6. If you do not use the developers console, you can set
this to 16 to request all indices for these variables (regardless of loaded aircraft).
