February 20, 201115 yr Dear Sir When I want to dump fuel from the MD11 I push the dump fuel valve on the upper panel but nothing hapens the fuel remains the same. Is there any other buton to push? I check in the manual but the only one I saw was the one that I pushed. Can you help me? Thank you My name is Carlos

February 20, 201115 yr You need to enter a dump value in the FMS. It needs to know where to stop dumping (at which weight to stop dumping).Exactly as you said, you need to set the required value into the FMS and then the dump will start.Cheers, Paolo Fumagalli "Everyday is a new flight, with new system to learn, new failures to prevent and new database to update..."

Thank you My name is CarlosCarlos,Where you say that pushing the Dump button, nothing happens, I bet you pushed it once, and only removed the protection cover.Pressing the button twice, should start the dump procedure and at least show some alerts, depending on your settings in the FMS, as others in this thread indicate.Regards,Harry
