9 - When does a Center to Inner Tank fuel Transfer start ?

A - Center pumps arc pressed in.
B - Inner Tank is below high level - 2000Kg.
C - Center Tank is more than 3750Kg.
10 - An Aft Transfer is initialed, as aircraft passes FL255, if ?
A - CG is forward of Target CG -0.5%.
B - CG > Target CG by more than 0.5%.
C - Trim Tank is less than 3750Kg.
11 - As the end of the Inner Tank fuel is used the aircraft CG moves aft ; what happens ?
A - Outer to Inner Transfer starts.
B - CG stays close to the Aft limit.
C - Forward Transfers arc initiated.
12 - How do FCMC 1 and 2 take the control of the system ?
A - Simultaneously, all the time.
B - Normally FCMC 1 does it.
C - One after the other, at each flight.
13 - What is the purpose of the Fuel Control and Monitoring System ?
A - The FCMS controls refuel, transfers, CG, FQ1 and sensing.
B - The FCMS calculates ZFW, ZFCG and indicates AFT CG warning.
C - The FCMS only measures fuel quantity and gives indications.
14 - What happens when fuel is collected in a Surge Vent Tank ?

17 - When one of the recirculation inhibition signals appears, which Engine Fuel Return
Valve is closed ?
A - One Engine Fuel Return Valve is closed.
B - The two Fuel Return Valves of the same wing.
C - All four Engine Fuel Return Valves arc closed.
18 - On ground, the Engines arc stopped, how do you close the LP Valve ?
A - By releasing out the Fire Pushbutton.
B - By removing electrical power from A/C.
C - The valve is already closed.
19 - How does Center Tank to Inner Tanks Main Transfer occur ?
A - Simultaneously on both wings whatever the fuel quantity is.
B - Independently, depending on the Center Tank fuel quantity.
C - Independently, depending on the Inner Tank fuel quantity.
20 - What happens when the MANUAL CTR XFR is selected ?
A - Inner Inlet Valves are controlled open, XFR Pumps continue to run and other
valves arc confirmed closed.
B - All Inlet Valves are controlled open, all Pumps and Valves remain as they arc.
C - Inner and Outer Inlet Valves are controlled open and XPR Pumps arc cycled
depending on level.
21 - How does Outer Tank to Inner Tank transfer take place for each wing ?
A - Independently, by crew command.
B - Independently, triggered by the lowest Inner Tank fuel quantity.
C - Simultaneously, triggered by the lowest Inner Tank fuel quantity.
22 - How is the CG position maintained ?
A - FCMC calculates the position and compares it with a target value.
B - Both FCMCs and FMGECs regulate the CG position.
C - The FCMS maintains the position calculated by the FMGEC .
23 - If an Aft Transfer is necessary and CTR TK contains fuel, what docs the FCMS do?
A - Open the Trim Pipe Isolation Valve and Trim Tank Inlet Valve.
B - Open the Trim Pipe Isolation Valve and Trim Tank Isolation Valve.
