Answer 7

CENTER

Question 8

Before takeoff when takeoff flaps are selected, how does the fuel system configuration change?

Answer 8

The cross feed 2/3 close causing main tank 2/3 pumps to feed their respective engines, meanwhile the CENTER tank pumps still provide fuel to engines 1&4

After takeoff with flaps up how does the fuel system config change?

Answer 9

The 2/3 cross feed valves open allowing the CENTER pumps to now feed all engines

Question 10

> FUEL LOW CTR L

>FUEL LOW CTR R

Answer 10

In Cruise: Fuel in CENTER tank is less than 1,300 kgs with pump switches on

In Climb: CENTER quant is 3200kgs with pump switches on

Before start: CENTER quantity is <7700kgs and switches on.

Question 11

When system logic senses low pressure from the CENTER wing tank pumps or they are turned off, what does the system automatically do?

Answer 11

Turns on the 2/3 override/JETT pumps

Question 12

How does the remaining fuel get used from the CENTER tank when the pumps are off or low press?

Answer 12

Scavenge pumps transfer it to main tanks 2/3

Question 29

FUEL RES XFR 2,3

Answer 29

Reserve transfer valve NIPS

Question 30

>FUEL TANK/ENG

Answer 30

One of these occurs with the cross feed valve 1 or 4 open: Main tank 2 is <=equal to tank 1 Main tank 3 is <= to tank 4 This indicates it is time to go direct tank to engine feed. Basically it’s telling you to stop feeding off the inboards only with the overrides and let each engine take its own feed to keep even balance across the wing. Turno off 2/3 override pumps then close XFEED valves 1/4 Keep this config til landing
