In normal operation, engines are always fed from:

OUTER Tanks in case of overfull condition.

INNER Tanks.

CTR Tank for takeoff.

Correct! Wrong!

With tanks nearly empty, time for refueling all the tanks of the aircraft is approximately (depending on the nominal pressure) is:

Between 33 minutes and 35 minutes.

Slightly more than 1 hour.

Between 20 minutes and 25 minutes.

Correct! Wrong!

When a tank fuel temperature is displayed amber:

FWC 1 or 2 alert flight crew to apply special procedures.

FCMC 1 is no more usable and FCMC 2 is automatically selected.

FQI is degraded.

Correct! Wrong!

A fuel imbalance should be corrected:

Using X-FEED valve.

Using differential power settings.

Using the transfer pumps.

Correct! Wrong!

In normal conditions, the automatic control of CG begins:

When crossing FL 255 during climb to reach AFT CG target minus 0.5%.

Only if there is fuel in the trim tank at takeoff.

When landing gear is up and slats in.

Correct! Wrong!

To supply both engines with X - FEED Valve OPEN:

One pump on each side is needed.

One pump on one side is sufficient.

Two pumps on same side are needed.

Correct! Wrong!

The INNER tanks:

Are each divided into two parts, which may be isolated.

Are each divided into four cells.

Maintain equal fuel quantity by gravity.

Correct! Wrong!

Maximum fuel temperature for JET A and JET A1 is:

+62 deg.C

+59 deg.C

+55 deg.C

Correct! Wrong!

Minimum fuel quantity for takeoff is:

5 600 kg (12 346 lb).

4 500 kg (9 921 lb).

5 200 kg (11 461 lb).

Correct! Wrong!

The ECAM alerts that are related to fuel low level in the wing tanks (FUEL WING TK LO LVL, etc.) must not appear for takeoff.

FAULT lights up on both CTR Tank pbs when:

At least one CTR pump has failed.

The CTR tank is empty.

The automatic CTR to INNER transfer has failed and both inner tank quantities are above 17 000 kg (37 480 lb).

Correct! Wrong!

There are two fuel pumps in each collector cell. They normally are both selected ON and:

Both are running.

One is running and one is in stand-by depending on which engine has been starting first.

One is running and one is in stand-by.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of an "ALL ENGINES FLAME OUT" situation:

The X-FEED valve automatically opens.

Left pump 2 remains powered.

All statements are correct.

Correct! Wrong!

Refueling can be accomplished:

From the right side.

Simultaneously from the right and left sides of the aircraft.

From the left side.

Correct! Wrong!

Electrical power requirements for refueling are:

DC from external power or APU.

Battery power is sufficient.

AC from external power or APU.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of loss of both Fuel Control Monitoring Computers:

Automatic transfer is degraded but it is still available.

Fuel transfers must be manual.

Auto-trim is lost.

Correct! Wrong!

In ELEC EMER CONFIG:

X-FEED valve automatically opens.

X-FEED valve remains in the last position.

X-FEED valve automatically closes.

Correct! Wrong!

Fuel temperature is:

Measured in all tanks and displayed on ECAM.

Not available to the crew except in case of excessive temperature.

Measured only in some tanks and displayed on ECAM.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of Fuel Center Pumps fault:

Center Tank fuel is unavailable.

Center Tank fuel is transferred to the Inner by gravity and is only partly usable.

Center Tank fuel is transferred to the Inner by gravity and totally usable.

Correct! Wrong!

Refueling can be controlled from:

All statements are correct.

The refuel panel beneath the wing.

The flight deck.

Correct! Wrong!

The L an R STBY PUMPS:

Are located in the collector cells.

Are located outside of the collector cells.

Automatically run when X-FEED is open.

Correct! Wrong!

Automatic refueling ensures that:

CTR tank is refueled only if inner tanks are expected to be full.

INNER tanks are filled first, followed by CTR and TRIM tanks.

May take as long as one hour using both refuel panels if all tanks are to be filled.

Correct! Wrong!

In normal operation, the automatic control of CG will stop:

To destination.

When below FL 210 and speed less than 280 kts (safety valves).

During descent at FL 245 or 35 minutes (75 minutes if trim tank transfer pump has failed)

30 minutes before the planned destination.

Correct! Wrong!

The fuel system is fully automatic. The only actions required before flight are:

Check of block fuel automatically inserted in the FMGS.

Selection of the proper fuel load and insertion of GW in the FMGS.

Selection and insertion of the proper fuel load, ZFW and ZFWCG in the FMGS.

Correct! Wrong!

During manual fuel transfer from CTR to INNER Tank:

Center tank transfer should not be started until inner tanks will hold all the fuel.

Crew must turn off Center Tank Pumps to prevent overflow.

Center tank pumps are auto controlled to prevent overflow.

Correct! Wrong!

The Airbus A330 fuel system:

Stores fuel in center tank, wing tanks and the trimmable horizontal stabilizer tank.

Has two inner tanks divided into three parts which are normally interconnected.

Has surge vent tanks in the outer, inner, center and trim tanks.

Correct! Wrong!
