- A.
Fuel quantity indicators
- B.
Sump low lights
- C.
Fuel pressure indicators and the fuel quantity indicators
- D.
Sump low lights and fuel quantity indicators
Correct Answer
D. Sump low lights and fuel quantity indicatorsExplanation
To determine whether the tank scavenge system on a cargo aircraft is operating properly, two indicators need to be checked: the sump low lights and the fuel quantity indicators. The sump low lights indicate if there is any excessive accumulation of fuel in the sumps, which could indicate a problem with the scavenge system. Additionally, the fuel quantity indicators provide information on the amount of fuel in the tanks, allowing for a comparison with the expected values. By checking both indicators, it is possible to assess the functionality of the tank scavenge system.Rate this question:

On a cargo aircraft, how much fuel must be present in a tank to perform a scavenge system operational check?
- A.
6,000 lbs
- B.
12,000 lbs
- C.
18,000 lbs
- D.
24,000 lbs
Correct Answer
B. 12,000 lbsExplanation
The scavenge system is used to transfer fuel from one tank to another in order to maintain balance and prevent fuel imbalance. To perform an operational check of the scavenge system, a sufficient amount of fuel must be present in the tank. The correct answer of 12,000 lbs indicates that this is the minimum amount of fuel required for the scavenge system operational check to be performed effectively.Rate this question:

Which situation will cause the tank scavenge system's ejector pumps to not operate at full efficiency?
- A.
Trapped fuel in surge box.
- B.
Boost pump inlet screen clogged.
- C.
Jet pump control inoperative.
- D.
Low boost pump pressure.
Correct Answer
B. Boost pump inlet screen clogged.Explanation
If the boost pump inlet screen is clogged, it will restrict the flow of fuel into the ejector pumps, causing them to not operate at full efficiency. The boost pump is responsible for supplying fuel to the ejector pumps, so if its inlet screen is blocked, it will result in reduced fuel flow and decreased efficiency of the ejector pumps.Rate this question:

What effect, if any, would a missing flapper valve have on the operation of the tank scavenge system?
- A.
None.
- B.
Undesired fuel would flow into the sump box.
- C.
Fuel would be allowed to flow out of the surge box.
- D.
Fuel would be stuck in the sump box.
Correct Answer
C. Fuel would be allowed to flow out of the surge box.Explanation
If the flapper valve is missing in the tank scavenge system, it would allow fuel to flow out of the surge box. The flapper valve is responsible for regulating the flow of fuel in the system and preventing it from flowing out of the surge box. Without the valve, there would be no restriction on the fuel flow, leading to fuel escaping from the surge box.Rate this question:

How is fuel drained from the main wing manifold of a cargo aircraft after a defuel operation?
- A.
Rotary vane pump
- B.
Gravity flow
- C.
Poppet drain valve
- D.
Ejector pump
Correct Answer
B. Gravity flowExplanation
After a defuel operation, fuel is drained from the main wing manifold of a cargo aircraft through gravity flow. This means that the fuel is allowed to flow naturally downwards due to the force of gravity, without the need for any additional pumps or valves. This method is commonly used as it is simple, efficient, and does not require any additional equipment or power source.Rate this question:
