Q

When do you have to select Terrain on the ND

A

• TERR may be selected at any time
to enhance situational awareness
• Normally TERR is selected on ND:

Q

After refuelling, Fuel discrepancy is outside the limit

A

The flight may depart provided the Captain is satisfied that:
• Sufficient fuel is on board
• Aircraft limitations are not exceeded
• Takeoff performance requirements are satisfied

Note: Small discrepancies or degraded fuel quantity indication are unlikely to be resolved through a stick check due to the level of accuracy of the MMI system; Stick checks are only necessary in the event of the fuel quantity indicating system being inoperative
