Answer 21

One or both crossfeed valves open.

One or more fuel tank quantity indications are inoperative and various fuel system non-normals.

The airplane is on the ground with one or both engines off.

All of the above.

Question 22

The TO REMAIN quantity can be manually set during fuel jettison by pulling on and rotating the FUEL TO REMAIN selector.

Answer 22

True

Answer 24

All fuel tanks.

Question 25

When the FUEL IN CENTER message is displayed the center tank pumps switches should be selected on.

Answer 25

True

Question 26

On the ground, what are the indications that a center tank fuel pump operation has been inhibited due to only one electrical power source being available?

Answer 26

The right center tank pump switch PRESS light will stay illuminated until after engine start. The pump pressure EICAS message is also inhibited.

Question 27

How is fuel supplied to the engines with all fuel pumps operating?
