FUEL INIT Page
DUMP TO GW in 1R is a gross weight that the aircraft will dump to if the fuel
DUMP switch is pushed. This field defaults to maximum landing weight, but
allows entry from 109 kgs up to the takeoff gross weight.
The DUMP TIME in 2R is a calculated value based on a 2300 kg/min dump rate
from current gross weight to the DUMP TO GW value displayed in 1R. The
resulting calculation is rounded to the nearest minute and displayed in small font.
When the current gross weight falls below the DUMP TO GW value, this field
displays zero. Prior to engine start the dump time is calculated using the takeoff
gross weight entry as the starting weight for the dump.
FUEL TYPE in 3R defaults to JET A, but may be changed by the flight crew. The
freeze temperature of this fuel is displayed in 4R. The freeze temperature defaults
to the maximum specified limit for the fuel type entered in 3R, but may be
changed by flight crew entry. This causes the fuel type in 3R to become dashed.
The freeze temperature is used for freeze logic and fuel recirculation. The FUEL
DIPSTICK in 5R provides access to FUEL DIPSTICK pages.
