Q

What is the purpose of the fuel crossfeed subsystem?

A

To allow both engines to draw fuel from either internal fuel cell

18
Q

Why must the crossfeed be in the Normal mode at all times while in flight unless executing an emergency procedure?

A

A malfunctioning crossfeed shutoff valve could result in a single engine flameout

19
Q

During engine start, the crossfeed mode for that engine is automatically set to what mode?

A

AFT (that’s where the boost pump is)

20
Q

What is the purpose of the fuel quantity subsystem?

A

To measure remaining fuel and detect low levels in the internal cells

21
Q

When is the FWD FUEL LOW Caution message displayed?

A

Fwd cell drops below 240 lb

22
Q

When is the AFT FUEL LOW Caution message displayed?

A

After fuel drops below 260 lb

23
Q

What is the purpose of the Fuel Boost Subsystem?

A

To provide pressurized fuel during engine start and when selected by operator.

24
Q

When the boost pump is on, where does it draw its fuel?

A

Aft interior fuel cell

25
Q

During normal operation, is the fuel boost pump on or off?

A

Off

26
Q

What does the boost pump thermal relief valve do?

A

Relieves pressure buildup caused by heat expansion of the fuel in fuel lines

27
Q

What is the purpose of the refuel subsystem?

A

Allow for pressurized and gravity refueling of AC

28
Q

What is the maximum fueling pressure for gravity refueling?

A

15 psi

29
Q

What is the maximum fueling pressure for closed circuit and single-point adapter pressure refueling?

A

55 PSI

30
Q

What Warning is associated with gravity refueling?

A

Use extreme caution when venting the fuel cell to preclude venting fuel out of the filler neck.

31
Q

What is the purpose of the Fuel Management page?

A

To provide displays of fuel system status and the means to control the operation of the fuel system

32
Q

What is the purpose of the SFR display on the TSD page?

A

To determine power settings for optimum fuel economy during cruise flight

33
Q

What is indicated when the Fire Detect/Extinguish panel ENG 1 FIRE illuminated pushbutton is pressed and the XFEED 1 VALVE FAIL Caution is displayed on the Enhanced Up-Front Display (EUFD)?

A

The engine 1 cross feed shutoff valve failed to close

34
Q

What color will the fuel cells be in n the fuel page when a fuel low caution comes on?

A

Yellow

35
Q

What happens on the fuel page when an auxiliary tank is empty?

A

E will show at the center of the auxiliary tank in the fuel page in white

36
Q

What, if any, is the indication when internal auxiliary fuel transfer is selected and fails?

A

Advisory - CTR XFER FAIL will be displayed on EUFD

37
Q

What, if any, is the indication when the fuel transfer pump fails?

A

The caution FUEL XFER FAIL will be displayed on EUFD

38
Q

What, if any, is the indication that a crossfeed valve did not go to the commanded position?

A

Caution - XFEED# VALVE FAIL will be displayed

39
Q

What, if any, is the indication that the boost pump has failed?

A

Caution - BOOST PUMP FAIL will be displayed on the EUFD

40
Q

During normal operation, is the fuel boost pump on or off?

A

Off
