2.2 Fuel System

DRAFT lesson page — content pending POH verification and video production.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the tanks, feed, boost pumps, and crossfeed
• Read fuel quantity and status on the MFD synoptic page
• Maintain fuel balance and recognize an imbalance
• Recognize fuel abnormalities and respond correctly

In This Lesson

• Fuel is stored in the wings and feeds the single engine
• Boost pumps ensure pressure; crossfeed keeps it balanced
• Where you service it (caps, drains) and control it (switches)
• The fuel synoptic page on the MFD
• Usable fuel and imbalance limits ‹VERIFY POH›
• Abnormalities: imbalance, low pressure, pump failure

Video

In production — original fuel-system animation + Austin fuel-panel and synoptic footage + AI voiceover.

Knowledge Check

• Fuel is stored in the wings
• In-flight fuel status is read on the MFD fuel synoptic
• Usable fuel and imbalance limits ‹VERIFY POH›
• Boost pumps ensure feed pressure
• Crossfeed is used to balance fuel between the wings
