the slats are extended
c. Anytime the slats are extended ora n overfill condition is detected in either
wing inner cell

The wing fuel transfer valves are

a. Open automatically at the start of refuelling
b. Manually controlled and open when the MODE SEL pushbuttom is selected
to MAN

automatically close at the next fuelling
Gravity feed to the engines is enabled from
a. The wing tanks only
b. The center tank only
c. The wing and center tanks

How has the fuel been transferred from the outer to the inner tanks
a. The transfer valve has been opened automatically be the low lever
sensor in the inner tank
b. The transfer valve has been opened automatically by the low lever
sensor in the center tank
c. By the setting the MODE SEL PB to AUTO
d. By the setting the MOSE SEL PB to MAN

After engine start, center tank fuel pumps run for ______ minutes
a. 1 minutes
b. 2 minutes
c. 5 minutes

Fuel transfer from the outer compartment to the inner compartment of the wing tank
occurs when the inner compartment quantity decreases to
a. 450 kg
b. 5000 kg
c. 250 kg
d. 750 kg

An amber line appears across the last two digits o the ECAM FOB
a. Fuel quantity is unreliable
b. The center tank pumps have failed
c. The center tank pumps are switched off

From which tanks will fuel gravity feed

a. Outer cell of the wing tanks, inner cell of the wing tanks, and /or center tank
b. The center tank only
c. Outer cell of the wing tanks, and inner cell of the wing tanks
d. Inner cell of the wing tanks, and center tank
Fuel transfer from the outer compartment to the inner compartment to the inner
compartment of the wing tanks occurs when the inner compartment quantity
decreases to
a. 5,000 kg
b. 750 kg
c. 450 kg
d. 250 kg

The APU fuel system

a. Uses its own dedicated DC powered fuel pump
b. Obtains fuel from the left fuel manifold via the right side fuel pumps
c. Obtains fuel from either center tank pump
d. Obtains fuel from the left fuel manifold via the left side fuel pumps or if
needed the APU fuel pumps

The message OUTER TK FUEL XTRD appears in the MEMO

a. Fuel is transferring from the center tank to the inner tank
b. It is a reminder to show that a transfer valve is open
c. Fuel is transferring from the inner tank to the outer tank
d. It is a reminder to open the outer tank transfer valve

The FUEL USED indication on ECAM is reset

a. Manually by the pilot
b. Automatically at electric power up of the aircraft
c. Automatically at engine start on the ground

What indication will you see on the overhead fuel panel if the centeer tank has more
than 250 kg of fuel and the left or right wing tank have less than 5000 kg

b. Mode select fault
c. Fuel Imbalance
d. Fuel Auto feed fault
There are __________ fuel pump in each A320 fuel tank
a. 2
b. 4
c. 1
Center tank pumps do not stop 5 min center tank low level reached. Where we can see
that
a. It is posible to determine their position
b. Only on the ECAM Fuel page
c. Yes, only on the refueling panel

After engine shutdown, what are your actions to closet he fuel transfer valves
a. No action is requiered.The valves will close automatically during the next
refuelling
