Fuel Systems Flashcards
Which pair of fuel pumps may be checked prior to engine start by depressing the TEST switches on the glareshield annunciator panel and listening for an audible indication?
Scavenge pumps
Approximate maximum usable fuel capacities of each fuel tank are:
Each wing 1449 pounds
Fuselage 5012
The switch which controls the RH transfer system is:
FUS TANK AUX XFR
The standby pumps are used for which following functions
Engine start
As backup for main jet pumps
Wing-to-fuselage transfer of fuel
The green FUEL SYS light will flash
When the Fuselage tank is full and FILL is selected
When the Fuselage tank is empty and NORM XFR, AUX XFR, one RAPID XFR is selected
Using the procedures in Section 2 of the Airplane Flight Manual, NORM XFR may be initiated:
When the fuel level in the wing tanks indicates 1200 pounds or less
Rapid fuselage transfer to the wings is accomplished:
Through both transfer lines with both the fuselage tank NORM XFR and AUX XFR switches selected to ON
The amber LOW FUEL light illuminates when
Approximately 410 pounds of fuel remains in either wing
Which pump automatically energize when the LOW FUEL light illuminates
Wing scavenge pumps
The cross flow valve opens
Whenever XFLO VALVE switch is set to open or the NORM XFR, AUX XFR, GRVTY XFR or FILL switches are set to ON
The cross flow valve should not be opened:
When a main jet pump is inoperative, unless using rapid transfer of fuel to the wings
A steady green FUEL SYS light on the annunciator panel indicates:
Any transfer/fill operation is in progress
XFLO valve is selected open
A STBY PUMP is selected ON
Approximately how much fuel will not transfer to the wings using gravity transfer?
350 pounds
