accurate readings during skids, slips, climbs, descents, or
unusual attitudes. If both indicator pointers should rapidly move
to a zero reading, check the circuit breaker for an electrical
malfunction.
Connected to the fuel quantity transmitter in each tank of some
aircraft is a fuel low warning circuit. When the transmitter is at the
10 gallon position, the fuel low circuit is activated and the
respective FUEL LOW light on the warning panel will illuminate.
When testing the warning lights the RIGHT and LEFT FUEL LOW
lights require between 1 and 5 seconds before coming on.
Due to sloshing in the tanks, the fuel transmitter must accumulate
approximately 18 seconds of sensed fuel below 10 gallons over a
span of time. Thus, the FUEL LOW lights may come on at
quantities above 10 gallons and then extinguish. This may occur
several times before remaining on. To confirm an accurate
indication, press the caution lights test switch and release. When
the fuel level is at 10 gallons or less the FUEL LOW light(s) will go
out for approximately 18 seconds and then come on again. When
a FUEL LOW light is confirmed, switch the fuel selector switch to
the tank for which the FUEL LOW light is NOT on. If both are
illuminated, select BOTH and land as soon as practical. When
the fuel selector is in either the LEFT or RIGHT position, the
FUEL CONFIG light will be illuminated.
NOTE
It remains the pilot’s responsibility to ensure
fuel quantities.
FUEL REQUIRED FOR FLIGHT
Flight planning and fuel loading is facilitated by the use of fuel
quantity indicators that have been coordinated with the usable
fuel supply. It is the pilot’s responsibility to ascertain that the fuel
quantity indicators are functioning and maintaining a reasonable
degree of accuracy, and be certain of ample fuel for a flight. A
minimum of 1/8 tank (5.0 gallons for aircraft S/Ns U20603522 thru
U20604649 and 5.5 gallons for aircraft S/Ns U20602589,
U20604650 thru U20606847and on) of usable fuel is required in
each wing system before takeoff. An inaccurate indicator could
give an erroneous indication of fuel quantity. If you as the pilot
are not sure that at least five and one-half gallons usable are in
each wing system, add necessary fuel so that the amount of fuel
will not be less than five and one-half gallons usable per wing
system at takeoff. Plan for an ample margin of fuel for any flight.
