7.13.4 Fuel Level Indication
A floating sensor which is easy to maintain supplied information concerning fuel levels
which are then displayed on the MVP-50P-AQ. The floating gauge is located above the
fuel supply; therefore fuel indication depends on the flight attitude. All filling levels above
¾ will be indicated as FULL due to the dihedral angle.
Additionally, a dipstick to visually verify the fuel level is delivered with the aircraft. With
the aircraft horizontal, the dip-stick is inserted straight into the fuel tank so that the
handle of the dipstick lays flat with the upper surface of the wing.
After pulling the dipstick out of the fuel tank, the fuel level can be determined by the
“wetted” area of the dipstick. This can then be compared with the electrical fuel level
indication on the instrument in the cockpit.
The dip-stick must always be carried with the aircraft. It is stowed on the inboard side of
the baggage compartment door.
CAUTION
The fuel level indication in the cockpit must be verified with the fuel dipstick daily. For
this purpose level the aircraft out as much as possible.
The dipstick has markings showing ½ and ¾ of the maximum fuel tank content.
NOTE
The fuel quantity, fuel used and fuel remaining functions of the G500 / G500 TXi / MVP-
50 are advisory information only and must be verified by the pilot.
