CG CONTROL SYSTEM Operation CG
44% 35%
TARGET -0.5%
TARGET
AFT LIMIT
- The trim tank transfer system controls the CG of the aircraft.
- When the aircraft is in cruise, the Fuel Control and Management Computer
(FCMC) calculates the CG and compares the result to a target value
which depends on the aircraft actual weight.
- From this calculation, the FCMC optimizes the CG position by deciding
the quantity of fuel to be transferred to the trim tank (aft transfer) or
from the trim tank (forward transfer).
- This optimization saves fuel by reducing the aircraft drag.

CG CONTROL SYSTEM
The normal operation of CG control system:

อันไหนถึงก่อนเอาอันนั้น
The automatic CG control : Begins during climb passing FL.255

Ends at descent passing FL. 245 or
FMGS time to deatination < 35 min
CG
AFT TRANSFER

TARGET -0.5%
TARGET
AFT LIMIT
If the actual CG is forward of the

target CG by more than 0.5% and the
aircraft is above FL255, an aft transfer
occurs.
This transfer will automatically stop
when the actual CG reaches the target
CG - 0.5%.
Note : If during the transfer, the inner tanks are
out of balance by more than 500 kg, the transfer is
automatically stopped on the lightest side until the
fuel balance is recovered.
AFT TRANSFER
The AFT transfer configuration is as follows:
Trim pipe -> by FCMC

FWD TRANSFER
CG
44% 35%
TARGET -0.5%

AFT LIMIT
A forward transfer occurs

automatically in order to maintain
the actual CG within 0.5% forward
of the target CG.
On the memo display, “TRIM TK

XFR” appears in green during the
trim tank transfer.
FWD TRANSFER
The FWD transfer configuration is as follows:

FWD TRANSFER
CG
44% 35%
TARGET -0.5%
TARGET
AFT LIMIT
As soon as one inner tank content

reaches 4000 kg, a forward transfer
occurs to cycle the fuel in the inner
tanks between 4000 kg and 5000 kg
until the trim tank is empty.
Note : If during the transfer, the inner tanks

are out of balance by more than 500 kg, the
transfer is automatically stopped on the
heaviest side until the fuel balance is
recovered.
FWD TRANSFER
Note : If during the transfer, the inner tanks are out of balance by more than
500 kg, the transfer is automatically stopped on the heaviest side until the fuel
balance is recovered.
FWD TRANSFER

A continuous forward transfer also

occurs when descending through FL245, or
when time to destination (given by the
FMGES) is less than 35 minutes.
If the trim tank forward transfer pump is
failed, the transfer occurs when time to
destination is less than 75 mn (gravity
transfer).
The forward transfer will automatically

stop when the landing gear is extended.
FWD TRANSFER
The trim tank has been emptied, as

shown by:
- the indications on the ECAM FUEL
page,
- the message “T TK XFRD ”

displayed in green on the ECAM memo.
FWD TRANSFER

and
the T TK MODE PB selected at FWD,

FWD TRANSFER
The manual FWD transfer configuration

is as follow:
OUTER TRANSFER
As soon as one inner tank quantity

drops below 3500 kg, and the trim tank
is empty, the outer tank transfer valves
open to cycle the inner tank content
between 3500 kg and 4000 kg.
The outer to inner tanks transfer is
performed by gravity.

OUTER TRANSFER
The outer tank transfer valves will

close automatically when the outer
tanks are empty for 5 minutes.
The outer tanks are now empty, as

shown by:
- the indications on the ECAM FUEL

page,
- the message “OUTR TK XFRD ”

displayed on the ECAM memo.
OUTER TRANSFER

If automatic outer tank transfer failure and

the OUTR TK XFR PB selected at ON, then
the fuel from outer tank is manually
transfer to inner tank.
REFUEL SYSTEM
A single refueling point is

installed under the right hand
wing.
Another refueling point can be
installed under the left hand wing
as an option.
Note : The approximate

refueling time is 35 minutes for all
tanks, (25 minutes if the second
refueling point is installed.)
REFUEL SYSTEM
A refuel panel is located on

the fuselage beneath the right
hand wing.

that the valve starts to open,
• OPEN light illuminates green

when the valve is fully open.
Note : the wing crossfeed valve opens

automatically only in case of electical
emergency configuration.
2 L STBY PUMP PB selected

at OFF :
Fuel in the left tanks is only

available using gravity feeding.
When gravity feed from the left tank

is required, for example to avoid
exceeding fuel imbalance limits, apply
the gravity feeding procedure contained
in the QRH.
- All the left tank pumps

are inoperative.
- The AFT transfer is still
inhibited.
Note : At this time, the right tank pumps are

still feeding the engines. When fuel from the
left tank is required, refer to QRH for gravity
fuel feeding.
Conclusion for the left tank pump failures :
1 • Losing one or two inner tank pumps is not

so critical (no master caution) because of
redundancy (3 pumps).
2 • Losing the three inner tank pumps means:

• Opening the wing crossfeed valve for
feeding both engines from one side.
• Using gravity fuel feeding if necessary

(refer to QRH).
