Correct! Wrong!

The Airbus A330 fuel system:

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.

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

Correct! Wrong!

Fuel temperature is:

Measured only in some tanks and displayed on ECAM.

Measured in all tanks and displayed on ECAM.

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

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.

Check of block fuel automatically inserted in the FMGS.

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

Correct! Wrong!

Refueling can be controlled from:

The flight deck.

All statements are correct.

The refuel panel beneath the wing.

Correct! Wrong!

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

To destination.

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

30 minutes before the planned destination.

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

Correct! Wrong!

In normal conditions, the automatic control of CG begins:

When landing gear is up and slats in.

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

The L an R STBY PUMPS:

Automatically run when X-FEED is open.

Are located outside of the collector cells.

Are located in the collector cells.

Correct! Wrong!

In normal operation, engines are always fed from:

OUTER Tanks in case of overfull condition.

CTR Tank for takeoff.

INNER Tanks.

Correct! Wrong!

In ELEC EMER CONFIG:

X-FEED valve automatically opens.

X-FEED valve automatically closes.

X-FEED valve remains in the last position.

Correct! Wrong!

When a tank fuel temperature is displayed amber:

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

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

FQI is degraded.

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!

Electrical power requirements for refueling are:

AC from external power or APU.

Battery power is sufficient.

DC from external power or APU.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of loss of both Fuel Control Monitoring Computers:

Fuel transfers must be manual.

Automatic transfer is degraded but it is still available.

Auto-trim is lost.

Correct! Wrong!

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!

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

One is running and one is in stand-by.

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

Both are running.

Correct! Wrong!

FAULT lights up on both CTR Tank pbs when:

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).

At least one CTR pump has failed.

Correct! Wrong!

Maximum fuel temperature for JET A and JET A1 is:

+59 deg.C

+62 deg.C

+55 deg.C

Correct! Wrong!

Refueling can be accomplished:

Simultaneously from the right and left sides of the aircraft.

From the left side.

From the right side.

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!

A fuel imbalance should be corrected:

Using differential power settings.

Using X-FEED valve.

Using the transfer pumps.

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!

To supply both engines with X - FEED Valve OPEN:

One pump on each side is needed.

Two pumps on same side are needed.

One pump on one side is sufficient.

Correct! Wrong!

Minimum fuel quantity for takeoff is:

4 500 kg (9 921 lb).

5 600 kg (12 346 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.
