2-35. FUEL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT.
a.
Fuel Transfer System. When the auxiliary tanks
are filled, they will be used first. During transfer of
auxiliary fuel, which is automatically controlled, the
nacelle tanks are maintained full. A check valve in the
gravity feed line from the outboard wing prevents reverse
fuel flow. Normal gravity transfer of the main wing fuel
into the nacelle tanks will begin when auxiliary fuel is
exhausted. The system will gravity feed fuel only to its
respective nacelle tank, i. e. left or right. Fuel will not
gravity feed through the crossfeed system.
b.
Operation With Failed Engine-Driven Boost Pump
or Standby Pump. Two pumps in each fuel system
provide inlet head pressure to the engine driven primary
high-pressure fuel pump. If crossfeed is used, a third
pump, the standby fuel pump from the opposite system,
will supply the required pressure. Operation under this
condition will result in an unbalanced fuel load as fuel
from one system will be supplied to both engines while all
fuel from the system with the failed engine driven and
standby boost pumps will remain unused. A triple failure,
which is highly unlikely, would result in the engine driven
primary pump operating without inlet head pressure.
Should this situation occur, the affected engine can
continue to operate from its own fuel supply on its engine-
driven primary high-pressure fuel pump.

Provisions are installed for connection to long
range fuel cells.
Section V. FLIGHT CONTROLS
2-37. DESCRIPTION.
The aircraft's primary flight control systems
consist of conventional rudder, elevator and aileron
control surfaces. These surfaces are manually operated
from the cockpit through mechanical linkage using a
control wheel for the ailerons and elevators, and
adjustable rudder/brake pedals for the rudder. Both the
pilot and copilot have flight controls. Trim control for the
rudder, elevator and ailerons is accomplished through a
manually actuated cable-drum system for each set of
control surfaces. The autopilot has provisions for
controlling the position of the ailerons, elevators, and
rudder. Chapter 3 describes the operation of the autopilot
system.
2-38. CONTROL WHEELS.
Elevator and aileron control surfaces are operated
by manually actuating either the pilot's or copilot's control
wheel (fig. 2-16). Switches are installed in the grips of
each control wheel for operation of pitch trim microphone,
autopilot disconnect, transponder identification, and chaff
dispenser. A manually wound 8-day clock is installed in
the center of the pilot's control wheel, and a digital
clock/timer is installed in the center of the copilot's control
wheel. A map light switch is mounted adjacent to each
clock. For information on operation of the digital
clock/timer, refer to Section XI.
2-39. RUDDER SYSTEM.
a.
Rudder Pedals. Aircraft rudder control and nose
wheel steering is accomplished by actuation of the rudder
pedals from either pilot's or copilot's station (fig. 2-9).
The rudder pedals may be individually adjusted in either a
forward or aft position to provide adequate leg room for
the pilot and copilot. Adjustment is accomplished by
depressing the lever alongside the rudder pedal arm and
moving the pedal forward or aft until the locking pin
engages in the selected position.
b.
Yaw Damp System. A yaw damp system is
provided to aid the pilot in maintaining directional stability
and increase ride comfort. The system may be used at
any altitude and is required for flight above 17,000 feet. It
must be deactivated for takeoff and landing. The yaw
damp system is a part of the autopilot. Operating
instructions for this system are contained in Chapter 3.
The system is controlled by a YAW DAMP switch
adjacent to the ELEV TRIM switch on the pedestal
extension.
c.
Rudder Boost System. A rudder boost system is
provided to aid the pilot in maintaining directional stability
resulting from an engine failure or a large variation of
power between the engines. Incorporated in the rudder
cable system are two pneumatic rudder boosting servos
that actuates the cables to provide rudder pressure to
help compensate for asymmetrical thrust.
(1)
During operation, a differential pressure
valve accepts bleed air pressure from each engine.
When the pressure varies between the bleed air systems,
the shuttle in the differential pressure valve moves toward
the low pressure side. As the pressure difference reaches
a preset tolerance, a switch closes on the low pressure
side which activates the rudder boost system. This
system is designed only to help compensate for
asymmetrical thrust. Appropriate trimming is to be
accomplished
by
the
pilot.
