Automatic refueling operation

The refueling panel and refuel / defuel coupling are located on the RH main landing gear fairing of the aircraft:
During refueling and defueling operations, fire services have to be ready in case of an emergency and fuel safety precautions have to be applied.
This tool is used to keep refuel / defuel valves in open position in case of valves failure.
Each 28 VDC refuel / defuel valve is equipped with a metal ring located under the electrical connection. The element called manual override enables the
valves to be operated manually, in the event of an electrical control failure.
Two restrictors located at the valve outlet allow fuel flow in the circuits to be balanced for simultaneous filling of tanks. Fuel through the lines is admitted
into the tanks at the tank low points.
Diffusers are located at the end of the two filling lines to limit formation of foam and vapor.
The fuel / defuel assembly is installed in a dry bay which is drained.
ATA 12 Gravity refueling port Page 18/ 74
Gravity refueling port
Gravity refueling is performed through two overwing gravity filling ports installed on the wing upper surface between ribs 22 and 23. Each gravity filling port
includes a support attached to the structure and a filter.
Remove cap from refueling connector located on wing upper surface
by means of a screwdriver, loosen the screw by 4 to 5 turns.
Press cap, turn by a quarter turn and release.
Gravity refueling
Start up ground refueling equipment For each tank, perform refueling and check quantity indicator located on refueling panel.
Take care not to damage wing leading edge equipped with de-icing boots.
From JIC 12-11-28 FLG
ATA 12 Manual fuel quantity reading Page 22/ 74
Manual fuel quantity reading
Each tank is equipped with two manual magnetic indicators. Access to the indicators is gained from the wing lower surface. A dipstik is mounted between
rib 5 and 6 near the feeder tank.
The other one is mounted between rib 22 and 23 near the vent surge tank. By means of a graduated scale, the dipstik gives an indication of the residual
fuel quantitycontained in the tank.
When not being used for manual checks, the dipstick is locked in its raised position. A chart is used to convert cm into liters and units of weight (Kg or lbs)
as a function of A/C attitude and fuel density.
A clinometer located on the left rear landing gear fairing gives the A/C roll attitude in order to perform the corrections for limiting A/C attitude effects for
dipstik reading.
The dipstik comprises a gauge body with a mounting base. Inside the gauge body are :
an assembly consisting of a magnet and float, which defines the position on the scale during a level check,
a graduated scale,
a stop (or lock) which receives the control knob when the assembly is locked,
a control knob which, by simple rotation, releases the gratuated scale,
a stop ring, which holds the measurement and check assembly.
Locked position : the control knob is flush with the outer face of the gauge body and wing lower surface.
Unlocked position : by pressing and turning the control knob, the rod magnetically linked to the float, falls under its own weight. The fuel level is read in cm
on the section of the scale which protrudes from the wing lower surface.

ATA 12 Free fall assister nitrogen charging Page 41/ 74
The free fall assister assists the main landing gears extension in emergency. A poor pressure will be indicated by a red mark. A task (12-14-32) in the AMM
JIC provides data to perform the job.
Caution: To ensure correct free fall assister inflation, take extreme care of detailed charging procedure. Failure to do so may result in thermal unbalance
during the charging activity and may affect final pressure requirements. Procedure as per JIC 12-14-32
Check the red marker at next flight, if it will be visible, re-perform the nitrogen charging. If the red marker will be visible, at the following flight remove at the
first opportunity the free fall assister and evaluate it.
ATA 12 Towing Page 42/ 74
Towing
Procedure Make certain that tow bar is in horizontal position and that towing point or towing vehicle is not higher than 16 inch.
Caution: Towing with the hydraulic system pressurized can result in steering system damage.
Before towing the aircraft, make certain that N/W steering switch is in the "OFF" position.
Caution Use only tow bar designed for this aircraft.
Never tow the aircraft at an angle which will cause the main gear tires to slide. Be careful when towing at sharp angles; tow very slowly. When
towing from the nose gear do not exceed the turning angle indicated by the pointer installed on the leg structure and the graduated plate bonded to
the turning tube.
Never tow the aircraft if wind exceeds 50 knots.

Inflating tyre pressure
ATA 12 Inflating tyre pressure Page 47/ 74
Main gear and nose gear tire pressures are given in accordance with aircraft normal operating take-off weight in order to optimize tire wear (ref. Job
instruction card 32- 41- 00 CHK 10010 for tyres pressures).
ATA 12 Check of tyre wear Page 48/ 74
Check of tyre wear
PlacardTire wear limit MLGGOODYEAR328Q28-1 (RETREADABLE) MLGGOODYEAR328Q28-2 (TBD) It is recommended that the tires be removed from the
A/C when the bottom of any groove is reached at any location or when the first layer of fabric becomes exposed, whichever occurs last.
Note: It is permissible to wear the tire beyond the bottom of the grooves if the first fabric layer has not been exposed. When fabric exposure is reached before
the bottom of the groove is reached, this is not a reason for concern, but the tire must be removed if it is to be retreaded.
If retreading is not desired, the tire may be worn until the second layer of fabric is exposed. The tire should be removed as soon as the fabric layer becomes
visible. Exposure of any portion of this fabric layer makes the tire unsuitable for retreading.
NLGGOODYEAR459M08-2(RETREADABLE) NLGMICHELINM09601(NOT RETREADABLE) It is recommended that the tire be removed from the aircraft
when the bottom of any groove is reached at any location.
Note: Perform the check when the wheel is cold and with aircraft on wheels.
Remove tire inflating valve cap.
Note: It is necessary to check tires pressure in cold climates, always apply heat to inflation valve and surrounding areas before unseating valve seal.
Connect a pressure gauge to the tire inflating valve, read the pressure and verify that the valve is in accordance with the following table:
