We started this site to facilitate our students in terms of DGCA/EASA Module exam
perspective. here we will be keep uploading previous question paper,books & notes. This
material will be very useful for all the students who are in search of appropriate question
in the same pattern of DGCA/EASA.

The fuel jettison system moves fuel overboard to decrease the landing weight. The
system only operates in the air.
To operate the system, you set the ARM switch to ARM and the nozzle switches to
ON. This opens the isolation valves, puts on the jettison pumps, and opens the
jettison nozzles.
The jettison pumps put main tank fuel into the refuel/jettison manifold. The
override/jettison pumps put center tank fuel into the fuel feed manifolds, through
the isolation valve, and into the refuel/jettison manifold. The fuel goes overboard
through the jettison nozzles.
Fuel quantity and jettison time show on EICAS and the fuel synoptic. The jettison
system automatically goes off at the maximum landing weight (MLW). You can set
the MLW up or down with the FUEL TO REMAIN switch.
Defuel System
The override/jettison and boost pumps put fuel into the engine feed manifold. You
open the defuel valve from the refuel panel. Fuel goes through the defuel valve, the
refuel/jettison manifold, and the
refuel panel adapters into a ground container.
FUEL TRANSFER
You use the boost pumps and the defuel, crossfeed, and refuel valves for a tank-to-
tank transfer on the ground.
