Fuel System Emergencies
Loss of Fuel Pressure
( FUEL PRESS LOW annunciation shown on PFD)
1. AUX FUEL Pump
......................................................................................ON
2. Fuel Pressure Indication
................................................................. CHECK
• If the Fuel Pressure Indication shows approximately 20 PSI:
a. Monitor the fuel quantity gages and the cabin for fuel odor and signs
of fuel leakage.
b. Land as soon as practicable to determine cause for failure of the
motive ow system, prior to the next ight.
• If the Fuel Pressure Indication shows less than 5 PSI:
a. Check the fuel quantity gages for possible fuel starvation.
b. Land as soon as possible.
Interruption of Fuel Flow to Fuel Reservoir
( RESERVOIR FUEL annunciation shown on PFD and aural chime
sounding)
1. Fuel Selector Valves
............................ENSURE LEFT ON and RIGHT ON
2. Ignition Switch
.........................................................................................ON
3. Auxiliary Fuel Pump
................................................................................ON
4. If
RESERVOIR FUEL annunciation remains and usable fuel is available in
the wing tanks:
• Monitor the engine gages and the FUEL PRESS LOW annunciation for
signs of fuel starvation.
• Attempt a steady heading sideslip for 10 seconds to the left and then to
the right, to clear the vent lines of fuel.
• Land as soon as possible to determine the cause of the problem.
• If there are signs of fuel starvation, prepare for an emergency landing as
outlined in the Engine-Out Emergency Landing checklist.
Fuel Tank Selectors Off
( FUEL OFF annunciation shown on PFD, LED instrument panel light
illuminated, and aural chime sounding)
1. Fuel Selector Valves
.....................................................................BOTH ON
NOTE: If the RESERVOIR FUEL annunciation is shown as the result of
fuel starvation, approximately 3 minutes of fuel is remaining in the reservoir
at max continuous power, or 12 minutes of fuel at ight idle (from the time
the annunciation is shown).
