D. Sump low lights and fuel quantity indicatorsExplanation
The correct answer is sump low lights and fuel quantity indicators. The scavenge system on a cargo aircraft is responsible for removing excess fuel from the fuel tanks. The sump low lights indicate whether there is an excessive amount of fuel in the sump, which could indicate a problem with the scavenge system. Additionally, the fuel quantity indicators provide information about the amount of fuel in the tanks, allowing you to determine if the scavenge system is properly removing fuel. By checking both the sump low lights and fuel quantity indicators, you can ensure that the tank scavenge system is operating correctly.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 remove fuel from the tanks during flight to prevent fuel imbalance. To perform an operational check, a sufficient amount of fuel must be present in the tank. The correct answer of 12,000 lbs indicates the minimum amount of fuel required for the scavenge system to function properly.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, and if its inlet screen is blocked, it will not be able to deliver the required fuel flow. This will result in reduced efficiency of the ejector pumps, as they will not receive enough fuel to function optimally.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 from 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 within the system, and without it, there would be no obstruction to prevent fuel from exiting the surge box. This could lead to fuel leakage and potential issues with the operation of the system.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 using gravity flow. This means that the fuel is allowed to flow out naturally due to the force of gravity, without the need for any additional pumps or valves. Gravity flow is a common method used in aircraft fuel systems to ensure efficient and safe fuel drainage after operations.Rate this question:

The aerial refueling manifold drain pump on a cargo aircraft is
- A.
A turbine-type pump with positive displacement.
- B.
A rotary-vane type pump with positive displacement.
- C.
Centrifugal-vane type pump with variable displacement.
- D.
Ejector-vane type pump with variable displacement.
Correct Answer
B. A rotary-vane type pump with positive displacement.Explanation
The correct answer is a rotary-vane type pump with positive displacement. This type of pump is commonly used in aircraft for aerial refueling manifold drain systems. The rotary-vane pump operates by using rotating vanes to create a vacuum and draw in fluid, which is then trapped and forced out through the pump's outlet. This design allows for efficient and reliable pumping of fluids, making it suitable for the specific requirements of the aerial refueling manifold drain system on a cargo aircraft.Rate this question:

When troubleshooting a manifold drain system, the best method you can use to determine whether or not a single point receptacle manifold drain shutoff valve has opened is to
- A.
Observe the cannon plug position.
- B.
Observe the manual override lever.
- C.
Listen to the actuator motor for the valve.
- D.
Take a voltage reading at the cannon plug.
Correct Answer
B. Observe the manual override lever.Explanation
To determine whether or not a single point receptacle manifold drain shutoff valve has opened, the best method is to observe the manual override lever. This lever allows manual operation of the valve, so by observing its position, one can determine if the valve is open or closed. The cannon plug position and taking a voltage reading at the cannon plug may not provide direct information about the valve's status. Listening to the actuator motor for the valve may give some indication, but observing the manual override lever is the most reliable method.Rate this question:
