2 Detailed Explanation
ETP Fuel Dump Configuration
Fuel dumping is
used in ETP engine failure situations. If due to an engine
failure, an aircraft type is unable to maintain a safe altitude
that meets drift down requirements, N-FP will calculate the
necessary amount of fuel to be dumped in order to maintain a safe altitude
(MORA). A field can be added to the flight plan fuel block that
provides the amount of fuel to be dumped in an ETP engine out
scenario.
The following
steps will show how to enable fuel dumping for a particular
aircraft type.
