What causes fuel to transfer from the reserve tank on a tanker aircraft during flight?
- A.
Air pressure
- B.
Boost pump pressure
- C.
Gravity
- D.
Null
Correct Answer
C. GravityExplanation
Fuel transfers from the reserve tank on a tanker aircraft during flight due to the force of gravity. As the aircraft consumes fuel from the main tank, the fuel level in the reserve tank decreases. Since the reserve tank is located at a higher position than the main tank, gravity causes the fuel to flow from the reserve tank to the main tank, ensuring a continuous supply of fuel to the engines.Rate this question:

- B.
Null
- C.
Crossfeed system
- D.
Fuel tank and engine sensing device
Correct Answer
C. Crossfeed systemExplanation
The crossfeed system is designed to prevent the engine from running out of fuel and flaming out if the main tank is hit by small arms fire. This system allows fuel to be transferred from one tank to another, ensuring a continuous fuel supply to the engine. By transferring fuel from an undamaged tank to the affected one, the crossfeed system ensures that the engine can continue running even if the main tank is compromised.Rate this question:
-

You are troubleshooting a malfunction of the crossfeed system on a tanker aircraft when you determine the is no pressure available to route fuel to the crossfeed manifold. The most probable cause of this malfunction is
- A.
A malfunctioning boost pump.
- B.
FOD stuck in a shutoff valve.
Correct Answer
A. A malfunctioning boost pump.Explanation
The most probable cause of the malfunction in the crossfeed system on the tanker aircraft is a malfunctioning boost pump. This is because the boost pump is responsible for providing the necessary pressure to route fuel to the crossfeed manifold. If the boost pump is not functioning properly, there will be no pressure available for fuel to flow to the crossfeed manifold, leading to the malfunction.Rate this question:
