Q

REFUEL/DEFUEL SYSTEM:

A

IN CASE OF FQI FAILURE DETECTION, THE HIGH LEVEL IS ACHIEVED BY A LEVEL SENSOR
INSTALLED AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH SURGE TANK

B) THE WING TANKS CAN ALSO BE REFUELLED BY GRAVITY

C) THE SYSTEM MAY BE USED TO DEFUEL THE A/C BY APPLYING A 0.77 BAR (11 PSI)
SUCTION TO THE CONNECTOR AND OPENING THE TANK REFUEL VALVES

Q

ENGINE FEED DESCRIPTION:

A

NEITHER THE ELECTRICAL PUMP NOR THE JET PUMP CAN CIRCULATE FUEL IN REVERSE DIRECTION THROUGH THE OTHER

EXCESS FLOW (FUEL NOT ABLE TO FLOW THROUGH THE LP VALVE TOWARDS THE HMU)
FROM EITHER THE ELECTRICAL PUMP OR JET PUMP, RETURNS TO AN INLET SUPPLYING
THE FEEDER COMPARTMENT INSURING THAT IT IS ALWAYS FULL

PUMP SUPPLY?

A

ONLY ONE

18
Q

THE FUEL TANK MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS:

A

2868 LT (758 US GAL) PER TANK, 5736 LT (1516 US GAL) TOTAL

19
Q

A JET PUMP FAILURE IS DETECTED BY:

A

ILLUMINATION OF RUN GREEN LIGHT IN THE RELATED ELECTRICAL FUEL PUMP PB

20
Q

ENGINE RUNNING, THE ILLUMINATED LIGHT “FEED LO PR” ASSOCIATED WITH FWS
ACTIVATION CAN MEAN:

A

PRESSURE DROPS BELOW 5 PSI OR FUEL STARVATION

21
Q

TO FEED ENGINE 1 WITH TANK 2, LH AND RH FUEL PUMPS RUNNING, YOU MUST:

A

OPEN THE CROSS-FEED VALVE AND SELECT ENGINE 1 FUEL PUMP PB OFF

22
Q

DURING CROSS-FEED OPERATION, HOW MANY PUMPS ARE RUNNING?

A

TWO, ELECT AND JET PUMP PUMPS ON THE SIDE WITH THE MOST FUEL

23
Q

IF NO GREEN “FLOW BAR” IS VISIBLE IN THE “X-FEED” PB, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

A

CROSS-FEED VALVE IS IN TRANSIT, OR A FAULT EXISTS

24
Q

HOW IS THE “LP VALVE” AT THE OUTLET OF EACH TANK CONTROLLED?

A

ELECTRICALLY BY THE RELATED FIRE HANDLE (DC BUS 1 OR 2 FOR THE MOTOR 1, DC EMER BUS OR HOT EMER BAT BUS FOR THE MOTOR 2)

25
Q

“LO LVL” AMBER LIGHT AND FWS ACTIVATION MEANS THAT:

A

FUEL QUANTITY BECOMES LOWER THAN 160KG AND THE CORRESPONDING ELECTRIC
PUMP RUNS AUTOMATICALLY
