pre-start

Question 1

High ambient temperatures may cause illumination of a CARGO OVHT caution message. When this occurs:

Answer 1

• Direct ramp personnel to close the cargo door when not actively loading/unloading bags
• Do not load live animals until just prior to securing the door for departure
• leave the CARGO switch selected to COND AIR position until just prior to takeoff
• Just prior to takeoff, select FAN. Ensure the CARGO OVHT caution message extinguishes.
• Approximately 30 minutes after takeoff, return the CARGO switch to the COND AIR position. When the CARGO OVHT caution message illuminates, comply with the QRH abnormal procedures.

Question 2

FUEL - ALTERNATE FUEL LOADING PROCEDURE
During normal operations, the main tanks are completely filled prior to adding fuel to the center tank.

Question 3

When there is fuel in the center tank and the two main tanks are not full, the allowable fuel load must be calculated using the manifest application in FliteView. Refer to EFB > Company Manuals > EFB > FliteView User Guide.

The total fuel index is entered on the manifest for weight and balance calculations.
