Pressure Refuel with Automatic Control from the Cockpit

TASK 12-11-28-650-008-A
Pressure Refuel with Automatic Control from the Cockpit

WARNING: OBEY THE FUEL SAFETY PROCEDURES.

WARNING: STOP THE FUEL TANKER 60 m (196.85 ft) FROM THE AIRCRAFT NOSE WHILE THE WEATHER RADAR OPERATES. DO NOT OPERATE THE FUEL TANKER/PUMP UNIT UNTIL YOU STOP THE OPERATION OF THE WEATHER RADAR.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE AREA AROUND THE AIRCRAFT IS SAFE BEFORE YOU START THE REFUEL/DEFUEL PROCEDURE. IN THE SAFETY AREA, DO NOT:

SMOKE
MAKE SPARKS OR FIRE
USE ANY EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT APPROVED FOR REFUEL/DEFUEL PROCEDURES.

AIRCRAFT FUEL IS FLAMMABLE.

WARNING: DO NOT SPILL FUEL ON THE ENGINES OR THE BRAKES. IF YOU SPILL FUEL ON ENGINES OR BRAKES THAT ARE HOT, IT CAN CAUSE FIRES.

1. Reason for the Job

NOTE: It is recommended that you keep to one type of fuel. Although approved types can be mixed if necessary to continue operation. Refer to Section 2 of your Flight Manual (Ref. FM Section 2) for a complete list of approved fuels. Refer to Airbus Cold Weather Operations Information and Operations Policy Fueling Procedures for safety precautions with mixed fuel.

3. Job Set-up
Subtask 12-11-28-941-061-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Safety Precautions
(1) You must obey the refuel/defuel safety precautions (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-001) (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-002).
(2) Put the ACCESS PLATFORM 5M (16 FT)- ADJUSTABLE adjacent to the refuel/defuel coupling.
(3) As necessary, use the applicable SAFETY BARRIERS, specified by the operator's instructions and your local regulations.

Subtask 12-11-28-281-055-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

B. Drain the Water from the Fuel
(1) Make sure that the person that operates the fuel tanker/pump unit has drained all the water from the fuel.

Subtask 12-11-28-860-067-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

C. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE FUEL SUPPLY HOSE IS CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE COUPLING BEFORE YOU REFUEL/DEFUEL THE AIRCRAFT. DO NOT CONNECT THE FUEL SUPPLY HOSE IF THERE ARE SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT COUPLING LUGS OR SLOTS.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU BOND THE FUEL TANKER TO THE AIRCRAFT. IF YOU DO NOT, AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE CAN OCCUR WHICH CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.

(1) Obey the local regulations for grounding (earthing) the aircraft. If you must ground (earth) the aircraft:

Ground (earth) the fuel tanker and the aircraft correctly (Ref. AMM TASK 12-34-24-869-001).

NOTE: You must bond the fuel tanker to the aircraft. Obey the local regulations for grounding (earthing).

(2) Bond the fuel tanker to the aircraft (Ref. AMM TASK 12-34-24-869-001).
(3) Make sure that the chocks do not touch the tires. The weight of the fuel can lower the aircraft and catch the chocks.
(4) Remove the refuel/defuel coupling cap 101QM(41QM).
(5) Make sure that the coupling of the fuel supply-hose is clean.
(6) Connect the coupling of the fuel supply-hose to the aircraft refuel/defuel coupling 100QM(40QM).
(7) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
(8) Do the EIS (ECAM only) start procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).

4. Procedure

NOTE: Do not transfer electrical power during the refuel procedure. It is possible this will set the PRESELECTED fuel quantity to the ACTUAL fuel quantity and the refuel to stop. If this occurs, do the pressure refuel procedure again.

Subtask 12-11-28-650-095-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

WARNING: BEFORE YOU DO THIS REFUEL PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT:

ALL THE FUEL PUMPS ARE OFF, OR
THE FUEL PUMPS ARE ON WITH MODE SEL PUSHBUTTON-SWITCH 48QA IN THE AUTO POSITION.

IF THE FUEL PUMPS ARE ON AND MODE SEL PUSHBUTTON-SWITCH 48QA IS NOT IN THE AUTO POSITION, THERE IS A RISK THAT FUEL WILL SPILL.

CAUTION: BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE CROSSFEED VALVE, MAKE SURE THAT THE FUEL PUMP(S) IS(ARE) OFF. THIS WILL PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CROSSFEED VALVE.

CAUTION: BEFORE YOU START THE WING TANK PUMPS, MAKE SURE THAT:

THERE IS A MINIMUM OF 750 KG (1653 LB) OF FUEL IN THE APPLICABLE WING TANKS
THE MODE SEL PUSHBUTTON SWITCH 48QA IS IN THE AUTO POSITION.

THIS WILL PREVENT DRY RUNNING AND SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE WING AND CENTER TANK PUMPS.

A. Pressure Refuel with Automatic Control from the Cockpit

NOTE: If it becomes necessary, defuel (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-650-001) or transfer fuel (Ref. AMM TASK 28-25-00-869-001).

(1) In the cockpit, on the panel 40VU, make sure that:

the X FEED P/BSW 4QE is not pushed (in) (the ON and OPEN legends of the P/BSW are off).

(2) In the cockpit, on the panel 51VU:
(a) Push (in) the PWR pushbutton switch (PBS/W).
(b) Make sure that:

the ON light comes on
the FAULT light stays off
the CKPT light on the preselector 10QT comes on.

(c) Push (in) the TEST switch and make sure that the ACT HI LVL lights change condition. That is, those that were off come on and those that were on go off.
(d) Release (out) the TEST switch and make sure that the HI LVL lights, for the ACT(s) which are not full, go off.
(e) On the preselector 10QT, put the PRESELECTED rocker switch to the INC position and hold it there.
(f) Make sure that the number on the PRESELECTED display increases.
(g) When the PRESELECTED display shows the necessary fuel load, release the PRESELECTED rocker switch.
(h) Push and release the CTL PBS/W.
(i) Make sure that:

the ON light is on
the VALVE light is off.

(3) At the refuel/defuel coupling:
(a) Before refuel, record actual fuel quantity indicated on panel 51VU. When refuel is complete do a discrepancy check.
(b) When the green ready-to-refuel light comes on, start the pump on the fuel tanker/pump unit.
(c) Monitor the ready-to-refuel light.

NOTE: The ready-to-refuel light is outboard from the refuel/defuel coupling in the leading edge.

(4) In the cockpit, on the panel 51VU:
(a) On the preselector 10QT, make sure that the number on the ACTUAL display increases.

NOTE: It is possible that the fuel flow will stop for approximately five seconds near the end of the refuel operation. This lets the computer calculate accurately where to put the last of the fuel.

(b) When the END light comes on:

push and release the CTL PBS/W
make sure that the numbers on the ACTUAL and PRESELECTED displays are stable and the same +/- 100 kg (220.5 lb).

(5) In the cockpit, on the ECAM CP, push (in) the FUEL PBS/W.
(6) Make sure that the fuel is divided correctly between the tanks.

NOTE: Refer to the fuel tables for the maximum capacity of each tank and for the total fuel capacity (Ref. AMM TASK 12-11-28-650-007).

(7) In the cockpit, on the panel 51VU:
(a) Release (out) the PWR PBS/W.

NOTE: If the PWR pushbutton switch on Panel 51VU is on (pushed in) for a long period the aircraft batteries will discharge.

(b) Make sure that the ON light goes off.
(c) On the cockpit preselector 10QT, make sure that the END light and the CKPT light go off.
(8) At the refuel/defuel coupling:
(a) When the ready-to-refuel light goes off, stop the pump on the fuel tanker/pump unit.
(9) In the cockpit, on the ECAM CP, turn the BRT controls to off.
