Question 29

What are the fuel limitations?

Answer 29

Allowable lateral imbalance between main tanks 1 and 2 must be scheduled to be zero. Random fuel imbalance must not exceed 1000 lbs for taxi, takeoff, flight or landing. Main wing tanks must be scheduled to be full if the center tank contains more than 1000 lbs.

Question 30

What are the center tank fuel limitations?

Answer 30

For ground operation, center tank fuel pump switches must not be positioned to ON unless the center tank fuel quantity exceeds 1000 lbs, except with de-fueling or transferring fuel. Center Tank fuel pumps must not be ON unless personnel are available on the flight deck to monitor LOW PRESSURE lights. For ground and flight operations, the corresponding center tank fuel pump switch must be positioned OFF when the LOW Pressure light illuminates. If center tank is empty, both center tank fuel pump switches must be off.
