(O) OPERATIONS PROCEDURES — texte MEL :
28-02B Tank Contains Fuel
1. Verify that the zero fuel weight and balance limitations have been accounted for.
2. Adjust the zero fuel weight of the airplane by including the weight of center tank fuel, or adjust
the maximum zero fuel weight by subtracting the weight of center tank fuel.
3. Fuel usage takeoff configuration:
a) Position the CROSSFEED selector to the closed position.
b) Position the AFT and FWD main tank FUEL PUMP switches to ON for all operating main pumps.
4. Verify that the operating center tank FUEL PUMP switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: Fuel CONFIG alert may be displayed with fuel in the center tank.
5. After takeoff:
a) Position the operating center tank FUEL PUMP switch to ON if the center tank contains usable
fuel.
b) Position the CROSSFEED selector to the open position.
6. When the center tank LOW PRESSURE light illuminates:
a) Position the operating center tank FUEL PUMP switch to OFF.
b) Position the CROSSFEED selector to the closed position.
NOTE: Prior to the center tank LOW PRESSURE light illuminating, a fuel imbalance between
the main tanks may be indicated as a result of differences in fuel pump output
pressures when operating with the crossfeed valve open.
7. For landing:
a) Position the operating center tank FUEL PUMP switch to OFF whether or not the center tank
contains usable fuel.
b) Position the CROSSFEED selector to the closed position whether or not the center tank
contains usable fuel.
