This is because the fault isolation diagram specifically requests that the parameter monitor code (PMC) be entered on the CITS control and display panel. The other options mentioned, such as the CITS control and display panel on the windshield center post or the system status panel, are not specified in the diagram as the correct location for entering the PMC. Therefore, the correct location to comply with the request is the CITS control and display panel in the aft crew station.Rate this question:

47.(222) You can determine whether the tank scavenge system on a cargo aircraft is operating properly by checking the
- A.
Sump low lights only.
- B.
Fuel quantity indicators only.
- C.
Sump low lights and the fuel quantity indicators.
- D.
Fuel-pressure indicators and the fuel quantity indicators.
Correct Answer
C. Sump low lights and the fuel quantity indicators.Explanation
To determine whether the tank scavenge system on a cargo aircraft is operating properly, you need to check both the sump low lights and the fuel quantity indicators. The sump low lights indicate if there is any water or contaminants in the fuel tanks, while the fuel quantity indicators show the level of fuel in the tanks. By checking both of these indicators, you can ensure that the tank scavenge system is effectively removing any water or contaminants and that the fuel quantity is at the appropriate level.Rate this question:

48.(223) Which situation could have a negative effect on the operation of the tank scavenge system?
- A.
Low-boost pump pressure.
- B.
Trapped fuel in surge box.
- C.
Jet pump control inoperative.
- D.
Boost-pump inlet screens clogged.
Correct Answer
D. Boost-pump inlet screens clogged.Explanation
If the boost-pump inlet screens are clogged, it can restrict the flow of fuel into the tank scavenge system. This can result in reduced fuel supply to the engine, leading to a negative effect on the operation of the tank scavenge system.Rate this question:

49.(223) What effect, if any, would a missing flapper valve in the sump box have on the operation of the tank scavenge system?
- A.
None.
- B.
Fuel would be stuck in the sump box.
- C.
Undesired fuel would flow into the sump box.
- D.
Fuel would be allowed to flow out of the sump box.
Correct Answer
D. Fuel would be allowed to flow out of the sump box.Explanation
If the flapper valve in the sump box is missing, fuel would be allowed to flow out of the sump box. The flapper valve is responsible for preventing fuel from flowing out of the sump box and into other parts of the tank scavenge system. Without the flapper valve, there would be no barrier to stop the fuel from escaping the sump box, potentially causing fuel leakage and affecting the operation of the tank scavenge system.Rate this question:

50.(224) How is the fuel drained from the main wing manifold of a cargo aircraft after a defuel operation?
- A.
Gravity flow.
- B.
Ejector pump.
- C.
Rotary vane pump.
- D.
Poppet drain valve.
Correct Answer
A. Gravity flow.Explanation
After a defuel operation, the fuel is drained from the main wing manifold of a cargo aircraft through gravity flow. This means that the fuel is allowed to flow out of the manifold naturally, without the need for any additional pumps or valves. Gravity flow is a simple and efficient method for draining fuel, as it relies on the force of gravity to move the fuel out of the manifold and into a collection container. This method is commonly used in aircraft fuel systems to ensure that all the fuel is safely and completely drained.Rate this question:
