The A320 Fuel system consists of the fuel tanks, controls the distribution of fuel during refuelling, supplies fuel to the engines and APU, cools the oil for the Integrated Drive Generator lubrication system,
keeps fuel in the outer wing for wing bending and flutter relief and supplies information to the ECAM and cockpit indications.
Within the cockpit, we have all the related Fuel switches on the overhead panel and the ECAM display showing the Fuel Page after pressing the fuel button the ECAM control panel. Other than that, the ECAM will automatically display the Fuel page in case of a system failure or warning
Outside of the cockpit, you can find the refuelling panel on the lower part of the fuselage, below the right-hand wing and a refuel coupling in the midsection on either side of the wings.
We´ll take a look at the crossfeed valve, and how to operate it in accordance with the fuel pumps to take care of a fuel imbalance.
But see more in the video ...
Big thank you to TFC-Käufer for making this video possible and providing me with their huge range of various flight simulators. In the video I was sitting in a FNPT A320.
Their flight training centre in Essen/Germany is the home of many flight simulators in which I have my check-flights every 6 months. Besides the simulator training, TFC Käufer is Germanys leading flight school, offering a range of different training courses by using their privately owned aeroplanes. Make sure to check out their website to see for further details:
