Question 24

Approximately how much unusable fuel is in the fuselage tank using alternate transfer (gravity method)

Answer 24

162 lbs.

Question 25

Fuel System Limits: ``` 125 Gallons: 162 lbs. : 200 lbs. : 400-500 lbs. : 500 gallons : 600 lbs. : 600 lbs : 760 lbs. or less : 925 lbs : 13,500 lbs : ```

Answer 25

125 Gallons: Service per Tip Tank or fill both tanks simultaneously 162 lbs. : trapped fuel in fuselage tank during gravity transfer 200 lbs. : Max lateral fuel imbalance for use of autopilot 400-500 lbs. : Fuel level in either wing tank illuminates red LOW FUEL Light 500 gallons : AVGAS may not be used in excess of 500 gallons per 100 hours of operation per engine 600 lbs. : Max demonstrated fuel imbalance for landing (one tip tank half full the other empty ) 600 lbs : Minimum fuel in each wing for takeoff or intentional go around. 760 lbs. or less : Max Tip Tank quantity before initiating transfer. 925 lbs : Max Tip tank quantity for landing 13,500 lbs : Maximum Zero . Wing and Tip Fuel Weight

Question 26

What does the Delta Fin on an extended range tank 35 do?

Answer 26

lateral stability, as well as preventing a deep stall

Question 27

Do the pumps push or pull fuel?

Answer 27

Push

Question 28

What is the rate of the standby pumps?

Answer 28

50 lbs. / min | 100 lbs. / net change

Question 29

Formula to Calculate Vref:

Answer 29

105 – basic starting +1/2 fuel + 1 knot per passenger +1 knot per 100 lbs 4000 lbs 105 + 20 + 1 pax = 126
