FUEL XFER MAIN 1 and 4 / TCAS before start

[swissdani 1]

Hi Bryan

I got 2 questions today:

What is the trigger for the FO to set the FUEL XFER Main 1 and 4 button to on after landing? I had it more than 1 time that I landed in fuel tank/eng config and all fuel tanks were balanced. Then to FO set the FUEL XFER to on after landing which resulted in a fuel imbalance warning shortly after.

2nd questions is regarding the Transponder TCAS item in the before start checklist below the line. When in the departure menu the ADSR-X is set to on, the FO sets the Tcas switch to XPNDR which is correct. However there is no voice command for this settings? Only standby or TA / RA Traffic are possible voice options?

Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Dani,

Logic is fuel quantity Main 2 + 3 > Main 1 + 4.

There's no voice command for it because it's not really the kind of thing you'd ask the FO/PM to set with your voice.

The emphasis in FS2Crew is on flows.

Cheers,

Good morning Bryan

Isn't the transfer used if 1+4 are higher loaded than 2+3?

I am not asking for a command to set it to XPNDR, more for the correct phrase to say during the checklist? 

PM: TCAS

PF: Code checked, here we should say like XPNDR, but only standby or TA RA Traffic are valid options.

I see what you mean for that xponder item in checklist.

We'll add that to the to-do list.  But you can always say "Set and Checked" as a generic response.

As for the fuel, I coded it the way our 747 consultant pilot wrote it.

Can you show me something from the manual saying that's wrong.... his may have been airline specific.

Hi Bryan

I know set and checked word. Was just an idea for a further release 🙂

Not saying you got that wrong there. I will focus on the fuel panel after landing during my next flights and see if I can spot something.
