zero
if the main pump inlet boost pressure drops below ____ PSI, the _____ caution light illuminates to indicate head pressure to the engine driven pump is low.
5.5 PSI
ENG FUEL PRESS caution light
*Try turning on the auxiliary boost pump to get the caution light to go out
what is the purpose of the tank auxiliary pump?
serves as a backup source of fuel boost pressure to the main pump
must be on for takeoff and landing
a FUEL FLTR BYPASS light indicates:

one above the passenger bulkhead
one in the ceiling
tail strikes can occur when pitch attitude exceeds ____ degrees while operating on or near the ground
8 degrees
max alternate gear extension speed

what does the main battery switch do?
located on the DC control panel
when positioned to main BATT, the main battery is connected to the right main feeder bus if the battery master switch is on
what does the power source load display selector switch do?
located on the DC control panel
selects power source (TRU or generator) to be load-monitored on power source load display
battery temperature display scales Ranges: Normal Cautionary Overheat
Located on battery temperature panel
each scale is a row of vertical bar light segments which illuminate in a line from left to right to indicate the temp
normal (green) 15-50C
cautionary (amber) 50-65C
overheat (red) 65-80C
main battery load switch
located on the DC system panel
indicates existing battery charge or discharge rates in terms of decimal fraction of minimum battery rate
generator control switches
located on the DC control panel
when positioned to GEN 1 or GEN 2, the GCU is armed to activate its starter-generator to the generator mode. In off, the generator is shut down, or following shutdown by other manual or automatic means, resets the GCU for subsequent reactivation
auxiliary battery load
located on DC system panel
indicates existing battery charge or discharge rates in terms of decimal fraction of maximum battery rate
