Week 2 Day 3 Flashcards
How many dual gauging probes are there in the fuel tank?
- 2 total
- outboard hopper both tanks
How many gauging probes are there in the fuel tanks?
- 28 total
- 14 per tank
How many fuel characteristic sensors are there?
- 2
- bay 1 left and right (in front of hoppers)
How many temperature sensors are there in the fuel system?
- 2
- bay 4 both tanks
How many high level sensors are there in the fuel tanks?
- 2
- bay 6 each tank
How many remote data concentrators are there in the fuel system?
4 total
How many fuel quantity signal conditioners are there?
- 1
How many positive/negative pressure relief valves are there in the fuel tanks?
- One per tank
- Actuate at 6.5 psi differential
How do you balance fuel loads on the ground?
Using the cross flow valve
Where is the FQSC?
- LEER
- Behind CB panel
What are the functions of the FQSC? (3)
- calculates fuel quantity
- performs fault detection
- sends information to MAU’s for display
How many HFRTT system valves are there?
- 4 total (2 per system)
- one RR valve (part of FMU)
- one Gulfstream valve in pylon
How are the main fuel shut off valves shut off in an emergency?
Fire handles
What controls the APU fuel shut off valve?
APU master switch
At what hopper fuel quantity will you get a fuel level low CAS message? What probe senses this low level?
- 650 lbs
- dual gauging probe
What is the capacity of each hopper?
1333 lbs
What is the total fuel quantity for each tank?
- 22100 for 650
- 24100 for ER
What type of cables run from the remote data concentrators to the FQSC?
Fibre optic
Of the 14 probes per tank, how many report to each data concentrator? What about DGP?
- 7
- DGP reports to both
What position is the HFRTT switch normally in?
AUTO
In AUTO, what controls the position of the HFRTT valves?
Inside engine EEC
Which switch bypasses the FQSC and closes the fuelling shut off valves?
Remote fuelling shut off switch
When using the cross flow valve, what physically moves the fuel?
Boost pumps
When moving fuel using the inter tank valve, what physically moves the fuel?
Gravity
When does a blue cross flow valve open CAS message turn amber?
After 5 mins
Inter tank and cross flow valves have closed position switches. As soon as not fully closed, system thinks they’re fully open. How long should they take to fully close, after selecting off, if operating correctly?
2-3 seconds
What is the maximum imbalance of fuel permitted by the FQSC during refuel? What does it do to control this?
- 1000 lbs
- opens and closes respective fuelling shut off valves
How many wet bays per fuel tank?
7
Where is the plenum located?
Outboard end of fuel tank
What separates the fuel tank bays?
Baffle ribs
What in the baffle ribs allows fuel to travel inboard to the hopper?
Flapper valves
What are the openings at the top of the baffle ribs for?
To allow fuel to escape outboard during refuel
Where do the fuel probes get their excitation voltages? Where do they report to?
their dedicated RDC’s
How many boost pumps are required for dispatch?
