3-59
Warning: Be prepared for a possible engine failure and power
off landing.
Land ASAP
2 FUEL LOW LEFT – FUEL LOW RIGHT y
This caution means that the fuel level in the respective collector
tank is at low level. Fuel contained in this collector tank is
sufficient to supply the engine for 5 minutes of flight. Note that
fuel from the respective main tank can freely flow into this
collector tank.
Fuel Quantity Relevant Tank(s); Re-check
FUEL SELECTOR VALVE; Switch to not-empty tank within
5 minutes
3 FUEL TRANS LEFT – FUEL TRANS RIGHT y
This caution means the respective fuel transfer system is not
working correctly. The pressure downstream of the respective
transfer pump is too low. So fuel will no more be transferred
from the auxiliary to the main compartment nor from the main
to the collector compartment. Gravity fuel transfer from the
main to the collector compartment still persists but with
unusable fuel increased from 14 L to 32 L.
A possible cause for that failure can be that the respective
FUEL
TRANSFER switch is off or the load bus is without electrical
power.
Fuel Quantity; Check
FUEL TRANSFER LEFT or RIGHT; Re-check ON
FUEL-TR-L Circuit Breaker or FUEL-TR-R Circuit Breaker;
Re-check
IN
If light persists:
FUEL TRANSFER LEFT or RIGHT; OFF
Note
On the affected tank side:
Unusable fuel increases from 14 L to 32 L.
Auxiliary tank fuel is not available.
FUEL LOW will illuminate on a much earlier stage.
Range; Re-calculate and change flight plan as required
