98
Fuel
Q92a. With the aircraft completely full of fuel, discuss the different fuel configurations, beginning with engine start through landing? (AOM II 12-14)
GROUND
AFTER ENGINE START
- CWT pumps were selected on before start because there was more than 17,000lbs in the CWT. All engines are fed from the CWT by the CWT Override/Jettison pumps through the cross-feed manifold
- The 2&3 Main Tank Override/Jettison pumps are ARMED because the CWT Override/Jettison pumps are on. All main tank boost pumps are on, but overridden by the higher pressure from the CWT
SETTIN T/O FLAPS
- Cross-feed valves 2&3 close with system logic. Engines 1&4 are fed from the CWT by the CWT Override/Jettison pumps. Engine 2&3 are fed from their respective main tanks by their respective main tank boost pumps. The Main Tank Override/Jettison pumps remain ARMED because CWT Override/Jettison pumps are on.
99
Fuel
Q92b. With the aircraft completely full of fuel, discuss the different fuel configurations, beginning with engine start through landing? (AOM II 12-14)
CLIMB
FLAPS UP
- System logic opens 2&3 cross-feed valves. All engines are once again fed by the CWT Override/Jettison pumps out of CWT
<7000lbs in CWT During Climb
- This condition is rare and will only occur when departing with not much more than 17,000 in the CWT. The fuel pooled in the back of the CWT while the pumps are near the front, and we don’t want them to cavitate. The EICAS message >FUEL LOW CTR L/R comes on, and we turn off the CWT pumps. The ARMED main tank 2&3 Override/Jettison pumps turn on, and feed all four engines through the cross-feed manifold
100
Fuel
Q92c. With the aircraft completely full of fuel, discuss the different fuel configurations, beginning with engine start through landing? (AOM II 12-14)
Cruise
>4000lbs of Fuel in CWT: (if previous step was accomplished during climb) The EICAS message FUEL OVD CTR L/R displays after the aircraft levels off and accelerates (pitch <5*), directing us to turn the CWT override/jettison pumps back on.
<3000lbs of Fuel in CWT: The message >FUEL LOW CTR L/R displays on EICAS. CWT pumps must be turned back off. That 3000lbs remain in the CWT for several hours. Override/Jettison pumps from Main Tanks 2&3 feed all four engines through the cross-feed manifold. Engines 1&2 receive fuel from the #2 Main Tank and Engines 3&4 receive fuel from the #3 Main Tank (due to proximity to the pump - the two sides are not isolated from each other)
Note: FUEL FLOW messages are normal and mean the tank is running dry. FUEL PRESS messages mean something is wrong with the pump.
<40200lbs is the Inboard Main Tanks:
- Reserve Tanks 2&3 begin to transfer to Main Tanks 2&3. Transfer valves stay open for the remainder of the flight.
- The CWT scavenges pump activates to salvage the remaining 3000lbs (transferred to Main Tank #2). It will run for 120 minutes or until low pressure is sensed.
All Main Tank Quantities are Approximately Even (29000 +/-1000lbs): EICAS message >FUEL TANK/ENG displays. Select Override/Jettison pumps off and then close 1&4 crossfeed valves, in that order (the EICAS message will blank upon closing the crossfeed valves, even if you forget to turn off the Override pumps). The aircraft is in “tank-to-engine” configuration with the Main Tank Boost Pumps feeding each engine from its respective tank for the rest of the flight.

Q93c. How do we and what happens when we jettison fuel? (QRH 12-5 AOM II 12-2)
Calculate desired “Fuel to Remain” and set by rotating knob
- Max landing weight (652,000) minus ZFW will give you the “Fuel to Remain” for Max Landing Weight.
- Also make sure you have enough to get to destination, approach and landing if you are not jettisoning near the airfield.

Q93d. How do we and what happens when we jettison fuel? (QRH 12-5 AOM II 12-2)
Raise guard and push Fuel Jettison Nozzle L/R switches on
- Jettison controller will turn override/jettison pumps in all tanks containing fuel (switches must also be on). This is the only time the main tank override/jettison pumps operate while the CWT override/jettison pumps are also on.
- A more accurate “Time to Remain” will calculate upon commencing jettison and updates after 90 seconds.

Fuel
Q93e. How do we and what happens when we jettison fuel? (QRH 12-5 AOM II 12-2)
During Jettison
- If “Time to Remain” does not display/updates on Fuel Synoptic, look it up in in-flight performance section of QRH.
1. The table contains time to jettison with 2, 4, 6 or 8 jettison pumps operating. Without malfunctions, we use the 6 pumps (with CWT fuel) or 4 pump (main tanks only) columns.
2. The 8 pumps column never applies to Kalitta (for 747s w/stabilizer tanks).
- Jettison controller will maintain Main Tanks 2&3 in balance by deactivating the jettison pumps in the lower tank when required. This is the only time the fuel system does any automatic fuel balancing.
- Will still get >FUEL LOW CTR L/R message on EICAS with <3000lbs on the CWT. Turn CWT override/jettison pumps off.
- <40000lbs remaining in Main Tanks 2&3 (not the normal 40200lbs)
1. Reserve transfer valves open, reserve tanks 2&3 empty into respective main tanks
2. CWT scavenge pump activities
- When inboard tanks <20000lbs, Main Tank Transfer Valves 1&4 open to gravity balance the main tanks (transferring from the outboards to the inboards)
NOTE: Since Main Tanks 2&3 have jettison pumps and Main Tanks 1&4 do not, the quantity of the inboards eventually will be much lower than the outboards; this will even them out.
107
Fuel
Q93f. How do we and what happens when we jettison fuel? (QRH 12-5 AOM II 12-2)
Completion of Jettison
- Upon reaching selected “FUEL to Remain”
1. “Fuel to Remain” quantity on primary EICAS changes from magenta to white flashes for 5 seconds.
2. Jettison Control System deactivates all operating override/jettison pumps.
- Turn Jettison Control selector knob off
- Ensure aircraft is properly configured for tank to engine (i.e., override switches/crossfeed valves)
108
Fuel
Q94. What is the difference between total fuel and calculated fuel? When are the values different? (AOM II 11-131)
A. Total vs Calculated
- Total Fuel: is what the Fuel Quantity System is reading in the tanks (totalizer adds individual tank quantity indications together)
- Calculated Fuel: is a calculation of the fuel that SHOULD remain based on how much the engines have used (totalizer value at first engine start minus fuel used based on fuel-flow rates and time)
NOTE: Calculated Fuel is normally more accurate and used for fuel check as individual quantity indicators can fluctuate slightly with changes in pitch/acceleration and turbulence.
B. A Fuel Leak will make these values differ significantly (slight variation is normal, especially with extended operation with gear & flaps down)
109
Fuel
Q95. Prior to engine start, with usable fuel in the CWT, after fuel pump configuration are the #2 & #3 Override/Jettison pumps on or armed? (AOM II 11-131)

110
Fuel
Q96. What is the max fuel imbalance between 1&4? 2&3? (AOM II 12-18)
A. EICAS message FUEL IMBALANCE 1-4 comes on at a difference of 3000lbs
B. EICAS message FUEL IMBALANCE 2-3 comes on at a difference of 6000lbs
111
Fuel
Q97. What is the purpose of the #1 & #4 transfer valves? (AOM II 12-14)
A. Open to allow gravity transfer from outboard to inboard main tanks. Will transfer until approximately 7000lbs remain in each outboard tank
B. Automatically open during jettison when main tanks 2&3 have <20000lbs
C. Valves may be opened manually using the Fuel Transfer Main 1 & 4 switch on the overhead panel, but this is normally just a MX function to correct imbalances on the ground
112
Fuel
Q98. Does the flow bar disappear in the cross feed #2 & #3 transfer valves? (AOM II 12-1)
No, the flow bar in the inboard cross feed switches just means that the valve is controlled by system logic, not necessarily that it is open
113
Fuel
Q99. After positioning the fuel jettison selector to A or B, where does the “fuel to remain” value display? (AOM II 12-16)

- prevents excessive torque to prevent landing gear damage
- functions just like anti-skid (and even uses the anti-skid system to release brakes), but it is for excessive torque instead of a skidding tire.
- when excessive torque is detected by sensors, the anti-skid system will receive a signal to release brakes.
