Fuel and Refueling Question

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

This is in relation to the 777

I've recently started making use of ground operations, especially fueling the aircraft.

Going through this always fuels my aircraft to what I want but it leaves fuel in the aux tank that's transferring to the center tank.  Am I supposed to wait until all transfers or can I take off with it in the transfer process?  I've not found any guidance in the documentation yet so if someone can point mt in the right direction, I'd be very appreciative.

FCOM Ch 12 is all about fuel system.  Your information is sparse so I have to assume you are taking on a near full load of fuel... those aux tanks are only used for very full loads.  In direct response to your answer no, you don't need to wait for the aux to transfer to center.  Fuel pump operations on pg 12.20.3.

Thanks.  This is exactly the type of answer I hoped for, with references to the FCOM and suggested pages to read.  Thanks for letting me know I don't have to wait for fuel to transfer.  I could find that no where I read.
