Abstract

See full text

A true mass fuel gaging system for aircraft utilizing multiplexing of tank unit measurements in or adjacent a fuel tank for improved accuracy and fault isolation. The system provides dual equipment channels for redundancy throughout all data processing portions of the system and also uses extensive built-in testing (BIT) routines so that upon detection of a fault an alternative channel can be switched into use. Detected fault locations are displayed in the cockpit with the fuel quantity displays. The system also provides displays of center of gravity measurements derived from fuel mass and location.
