Q

T TANK MODE - FWD

A

(What do you need for a forward transfer??? Open 2, close 2, 1 x pump, no overflow protection to CTR.)

(TATA-PN)

Initiates a manual forward transfer to the centre tank.

By opening 2 valves:
TT ISOL valve, (TTI)
AUX FWD XFR valve. (AFT)

By closing two valves:
TP ISOL valve, (TPI)
AFT XFR valves. (AT)

AND…..
- TT FWD XFR pump operates.
- No overflow protection to centre tank overflow

Excess AFT CG (based on the THS position (independent of fuel quantity)
FCMC is unable to carry out the forward transfer
- The FUEL LO TEMP warning

Inner tank < -37 °C, or

Q

T TANK FEED selector - AUTO

A

STOPS FWD XFR when the trim tank is at low level, to maintain the trim tank transfer line full.

Why??? APU is supplied with fuel through the trim tank transfer line.

  • T TANK MODE pb FWD, or
  • Manual transfer from the centre or outers to inners, or
  • Automatic transfer from centre to inners.

58
Q

How is fuel transferred FWD if the FWD transfer pump fails?

A

FWD XFR occurs by GRAVITY.

The FCMC:
Inhibits the FWD XFR by closing the TRIM PIPE ISOL VALVE, when aircraft pitch exceeds 3.4 ° for > 1 minute.
Restarts the FWD XFR, when the aircraft attitude is lower than 3.4 ° for > 1 min.

  • Trip Fuel to proceed to a Category A or B Airport;
  • Contingency Fuel;
  • Holding Fuel, when required; and
  • Arrival or Approach Allowance;
  • Final Reserve Fuel;
  • Fuel, if necessary, to meet other mandated fuel requirements, e.g. CDL/MEL requirements.
60
Q

What must you have at the EEP before passing?

A
  • Two-way communications with ATC;
  • Two-way communications with Flight Dispatch;
  • In-flight Fuel Requirement met;
  • No serviceability issues with the aircraft
  • NOTAMS and messages for the relevant EDTO Alternates have been reviewed;
  • EDTO Alternate(s) useability and weather, via an updated weather forecast
61
Q

What is a significant systems failure?
