that allows fuel to be drawn up from the sump at the bottom of the
tank for removal of contaminants and inspection.
A fuel shutoff valve is located in the overhead console. The valve is
normally left open, but can be closed during certain emergency
situations. Two electric fuel pumps, one powered and controlled by
each lane (A & B) of the Engine Management System (EMS) provide
redundant positive-pressure fuel flow from the tank to the 912iS
engine. A fuel quantity gauge calibrated from 0 to 20 gallons is
mounted on the lower left portion of the secondary instrument
cluster.
NOTE
:
Do not run the electric boost pumps (i.e. do
not turn the ignition key) with the fuel shutoff
valve in the closed position or pump damage
could result.
Fuel feeds by gravity to the bottom of the fuel tank where the sump
and fuel pickup for the engine are located. The fuel tank is shaped
to minimize the amount of unusable fuel throughout the range of
normal aircraft attitudes and accelerations. Fuel delivery to the
engine will be interrupted if the fuel moves away from the sump as
could happen in negative-g flight or in extreme attitudes. For this
reason, extreme attitudes and lateral accelerations must be avoided.
In addition, climbs slower than V
Y
(58 KIAS) and intentional side
slips are prohibited with less than 2 gallons of fuel (low-level light
illuminated).
WARNING
: Do not climb slower than V
Y
or perform inten-
tional sideslips with a fuel level of less than
two gallons (low-level light illuminated). Doing
so could cause the engine to stop, resulting in
a dangerous situation.
7.14 CANOPY
The A5 features a large, forward-tilting canopy. The canopy latches
at the top-center from either outside or inside. The canopy is
supported by a gas spring, which assists with opening the canopy
and holds it fully open. A detent is located in the motion of the
canopy that serves to hold it slightly open for improved ventilation
when needed while not in flight.
