FQI is degraded.

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

Correct! Wrong!

Refueling can be controlled from:

The refuel panel beneath the wing.

The flight deck.

All statements are correct.

Correct! Wrong!

Electrical power requirements for refueling are:

Battery power is sufficient.

AC from external power or APU.

DC from external power or APU.

Correct! Wrong!

Maximum fuel temperature for JET A and JET A1 is:

+55 deg.C

+62 deg.C

+59 deg.C

Correct! Wrong!

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

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

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

Check of block fuel automatically inserted in the FMGS.

Correct! Wrong!

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

30 minutes before the planned destination.

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

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

To destination.

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 ELEC EMER CONFIG:

X-FEED valve automatically closes.

X-FEED valve remains in the last position.

X-FEED valve automatically opens.

Correct! Wrong!

The L an R STBY PUMPS:

Are located outside of the collector cells.

Automatically run when X-FEED is open.

Are located in the collector cells.

Correct! Wrong!

To supply both engines with X - FEED Valve OPEN:

Two pumps on same side are needed.

One pump on each side is needed.

One pump on one side is sufficient.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of loss of both Fuel Control Monitoring Computers:

Fuel transfers must be manual.

Auto-trim is lost.

Automatic transfer is degraded but it is still available.

Correct! Wrong!

In normal conditions, the automatic control of CG begins:

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

When landing gear is up and slats in.

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

Correct! Wrong!

Fuel temperature is:

Measured in all tanks and displayed on ECAM.

Measured only in some tanks and displayed on ECAM.

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

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 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!

Minimum fuel quantity for takeoff is:

5 200 kg (11 461 lb).

4 500 kg (9 921 lb).

5 600 kg (12 346 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.

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

Between 20 minutes and 25 minutes.

Between 33 minutes and 35 minutes.

Slightly more than 1 hour.

Correct! Wrong!

During manual fuel transfer from CTR to INNER Tank:

Crew must turn off Center Tank Pumps to prevent overflow.

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

Center tank pumps are auto controlled to prevent overflow.

Correct! Wrong!

The INNER tanks:

Are each divided into four cells.

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

Maintain equal fuel quantity by gravity.

Correct! Wrong!

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

All statements are correct.

The X-FEED valve automatically opens.

Left pump 2 remains powered.

Correct! Wrong!

FAULT lights up on both CTR Tank pbs when:

The CTR tank is empty.

At least one CTR pump has failed.

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

Correct! Wrong!

The Airbus A330 fuel system:

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

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

Refueling can be accomplished:

Simultaneously from the right and left sides of the aircraft.

From the right side.

From the left side.

Correct! Wrong!
