FUEL CROSSFEED
The
fuel lines for
the
engines are interconnected by cross-.
feed lines. During normal operation each engine uses its own
fuel pumps to draw fuel from its respective wing fuel system.
However, on emergency crossfeed operations, either engine
can consume all
the
available fuel from the opposite side.
The
fuel crossfeed system is provided for use during level
flight, emergency conditions only.
The
system cannot trans-
fer fuel from one
wing
system to the other. The procedure for
using the crossfeed system is
described
in
the
EMER-
GENCY
PROCEDURES section.
FUEL REQUIRED
FOR
FLIGHT
Flight planning and fuel loading are 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
