False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

With the main tank fuel pump No. 1 FWD Switch ON, the center tank fuel scavenge jet pump operates automatically to transfer any remaining center tank fuel to main tank No. 1. The center tank scavenge jet pump operates when:

Please select 2 correct answers

Main tank No. 1 quantity is about one-half.

Either engine is operating.

Both Center Tank Fuel Pump switches are turned off.

The Center fuel tank is about 3/4 full.

Correct! Wrong!

A shut-off system is used during refuelling to:

Are only available for Left & Right main tanks (not on the Center one).

Automatically close the fueling valve in each fuel tank when the tank is full.

Automatically close the manual defuelling valave when the wing tanks are full.

Prevent refuelling pressures in excess of 50 psi.

Correct! Wrong!

Fuel Temperature - The temperature indicating system uses _____ electrical power.

AC (on ground) and DC (in flight)

DC (on ground) and AC (in flight)

Correct! Wrong!

When AC fuel pumps are operating, fuel for the APU is supplied from the left side of the fuel manifold. If the AC fuel pumps are not operating, fuel is suction fed from main tank No. 2.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

If the AC fuel pumps are not operating, fuel is suction fed from main tank No. 1.

Maximum tank fuel temperature is _____

+ 42 deg.C.

+ 45 deg.C.

+ 55 deg.C.

+ 49 deg.C.

Correct! Wrong!

The engine fuel manifolds are interconnected by use of the crossfeed valve. The valve is _ motor operated from the _.

AC & Transfer Bus No.2

AC & Transfer Bus No.1

DC & Battery bus

DC & DC Standby Bus.

Correct! Wrong!

What is the condition of the VALVE OPEN light when the crossfeed selector is positioned OPEN and the crossfeed valve is closed?

Extinguished.

Illuminated amber.

Illuminated bright blue.

Illuminated dim blue.

Correct! Wrong!

The fuel quantity indicators are powered by:

Standby DC power.

Standby AC power.

TR2.

Battery bus.

Correct! Wrong!

There are CDS fuel alert for:

Fuel quantity low in the main tank, both center tank fuel pumps producing low or no pressure with fuel in the center tank, excessive fuel quantity difference between main tanks

Fuel quantity low in center or main tank, either center tank fuel pump producing low or no pressure with fuel in center tank, excessive fuel flow difference between engines

Any fuel pump producing low or no pressure with the pump switch ON, impending fuel filter bypass, excessive fuel quantity difference between main tanks.

Fuel quantity low in the main tank, impending fuel filter bypass, excessive fuel flow difference between engines

Correct! Wrong!

Main tanks 1 and 2 must be full if center tank contains more than 500 kgs / 1100 lbs.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

Main tanks 1 and 2 must be full if center tank contains more than 453 kgs / 1000 lbs.

Center fuel tank fuel is used before main tank fuel because:

Center tank check valves open at a higher differential pressure than main tank check valves.

Center tank check valves open at a lower differential pressure than main tank check valves.

Main tank pumps cannot produce pressure until the center tank LOW PRESSURE lights illuminate and center tank pumps are turned OFF

Center tank fuel pumps produce higher pressure than main tank pumps.

Correct! Wrong!

With failure of all generators, the center tank fuel:

Can be used by switching off all wing tank pumps and opening the crossfeed valve.

Will be fed to the tanks by the center tank scavenge jet pump.

Cannot be used.

Correct! Wrong!

The center tank scavenge jet pump transfers remaining fuel from the center tank at a rate of approximately ____.

80 kg/hr (177 lbs/hr) depending upon weight.

80 kg/hr (177 lbs/hr) depending upon altitude.

80 kg/hr (177 lbs/hr) depending upon speed.
