Transfer ejector receiving motive flow during fuel movement from the center to a wing feed tank via gravity flow at a slower rate ## Footnote Note: FCOM2 Chapter 12−10−23 Fuel stored in the forward auxiliary tank is automatically transferred to the center tank as the center tank is emptied. A transfer ejector receives motive flow during fuel movement from the center to a wing feed tank. This creates a low pressure in the ejector, allowing it to draw fuel fromthe auxiliary tank and route it to the center tank. Fuel is also able to move, at a lower rate, from theforward auxiliary tank to the center tank via gravity. There are no EICAS indications or messages relating to this transfer system. There is no pilot control of the forward auxiliary tank transfer system. Fuel stored in this tank is considered part of the center tank for fuel quantity indications on EICAS.

120
Why must the crew monitor "manual" operation of the wing to wing transfer system?
No automatic shutdown of the manual system or overfill protection provided to stop operation
121
Where is power for the Refuel/Defuel panel taken?
APU battery direct bus through a DC power source Note: No requirement for AC power.
122
During the refuel SOV test, what does display of the "SOV FAIL" message in the PRESEL window indicate?

379
Where does the SVS image come from?
The FMS navigation and obstacle databases
380
When may the SVS be inaccurate?
In countries which are not NAD83 or WGS84 compliant ## Footnote Note: NAD83 is "North American Datum 1983" developed for the use of Canada and the United States. This standard was adopted by ICAO as the world standard the next year; thus "World Geodetic Standard 1984" (WGS84). In some literature, including Jeppesen, the United States and sometimes Canada are listed as WGS84 non-compliant. These listings don't understand the relationship between NAD83 and WGS84
381
What are the restrictions on the use of SVS in countries which are not WGS84 compliant?
SVS must not be used in the HUD past the final approach fix. ## Footnote Note: The SVS in the PFD, the terrain on the map displays and the terrain warning system will also be inaccurate and should not be relied on for proper information.

Most of these modifications are changes to landing distance correction factors.
397
If there is snow or standing water on the runway, can we use the ARINC takeoff data?
No, the ARINC data is only dry and wet. Any contamination will require the correction tables in the QRH1
398
When Operating on a runway with standing water, snow or slush, how do we use the FMS for performance and have correct speeds posted?
Choose "Dry" on the FMS Departure Data format Use the FMS calculated dry data to enter the corrections table in the QRH1 to determine the new takeoff distance and V1 speed Insert the new V1 speed in the V1 window Re-enter the remaining values Send
399
How is the wind correction for crosswinds over 20kts added to the takeoff distance?
When the current wind is entered in the FMS Departure Data format, the adjustment will be made if necessary
400
Is the data field for runway slope a manual entry field only?
No, the runway slope will automatically fill from the database when the takeoff or landing distance becomes longer. ## Footnote Note: The flight crew may manually enter the slope as needed to improve the takeoff or landing distance
401
When Autobrakes are selected on the FMS Departure Data format an additional line for landing distance will appear. What assumptions are made in this landing distance number?
The FMS assumes only the autobrake will be used until the aircraft stops. ## Footnote Note: When landing on a wet runway it is not unusual for the landing distance for low autobrake to exceed the runway length. In this case, the landing distance will be amber. This indicates the pilot must apply additional braking to stop within the runway length
402
On the airport analysis, what does the limit code "-O" mean?
Takeoff weight in that column is limited by an obstacle
403
On the airport analysis, what does the limit code "FL" mean?
