31
What in the baffle ribs allows fuel to travel inboard to the hopper?
Flapper valves
32
What are the openings at the top of the baffle ribs for?
To allow fuel to escape outboard during refuel
33
Where do the fuel probes get their excitation voltages? Where do they report to?
their dedicated RDC’s
34
How many boost pumps are required for dispatch?
3
35
How much fuel is required to prime a single boost pump?
- 10000lbs total | - 5000lbs per tank
36
How many compartments in the hopper?
2
37
Where is the overwing fuel cap? What does this mean?
- Top of bay 3 | - can’t max fuel from overwing
38
How many removable tank access panels are there? Can they be swapped position?
- 24 | - can only swap positions of tank panels in the same group
39
Are there any towing or jacking restrictions with tank panels removed?
No
40
What safety mechanism is built in to the overwing refuel cap adapter?
FOD screen
41
What is the purpose of the hopper?
Ensures fuel always available to the boost pumps
42
What do the ejector pumps do?
Pull fuel from bay 1 in to hopper when fuel pumps are on
43
How many low point drains are there?
- 6 total - 3 per wing - 2 inbd and 1 in plenum
44
How many vent stringers are there? Where do they run?
- 2 per tank | - inboard to plenum
45
How many vent float valves are there?
- 4 total - 2 per tank - open and close to allow air in and out of tank
46
What pressure does the tank pressure relief valve operate?
6.5psi differential
47
What is the purpose of the vent plenum? (3)
- lets air and fuel vapour flow in and out of tank - collects fuel from vent stringers - provides 2% fuel expansion space for fuel in tanks
48
If the plenum is full, where does fuel go?
Overboard
49
What does the flame arrestor do?
Stops propagation of flame from outside of tank to in
50
During normal operation, what happens to the fuel in the plenum?
Sucked back in to tanks by engine suction

What is the purpose of HFRTT?
Stop icing/gelling of fuel
52
At what temperature does fuel gel?
Approx -55 degrees C
53
At what tank temperature does HFRTT operation start?
0 degrees C
54
At what tank temperature does HFRTT stop?
10 degrees C
55
Which bays does heated fuel get sprayed into?
First 4 of each tank
56
Selecting heated fuel return switch to off closes which valve?
FRTT (pylon)

What does having the HFRTT button in AUTO do?
Primes the EEC

- power defuelling of aircraft | - accesses through aft WTBF
71
Fuelling can be accomplished from where?
GSCP or SMC
72
Refuelling master switch on initiates what at the GSCP?
BITE
73
How long should it take for the total fuel level be accurate on the GSCP? What do you do if it isn’t?
- 2 mins | - reboot master
74
What changed the max fuel load on the G650 to the G650ER?
Software
