Procedure for calculating fuel quantity with help of magnetic fuel level indicator                                                                           Fig 01 Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI) Please note follow the procedure given in latest revision of AMM. This article is for training purpose. To watch the video of this blog please click on below link https://youtu.be/lxX69vkhu0E To determine fuel quantity in the fuel tank we need to have the information of fuel specific gravity, aircraft attitude and magnetic level indicator reading. Fig 02 MLI Chart Above chart given in AMM which shows the fuel quantity in volume. There is different chart for different MLIs. Always refer correct chart for respective MLI. To determine fuel quantity as per this chart we should have the data of aircraft attitude and magnetic level indicator reading. The three steps for calculating fuel quantity with the help of magnetic fuel level indicator are; Step 01 Determine Fuel specific gravity Step 02 Find o

  What is  Magnetic fuel level indicator (MLI)?                                                                                 Fig 01 Magnetic Fuel Level Indicator To watch the video of this blog please click on below link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3zhwtHfV_U The magnetic fuel level indicators are a secondary direct reading system used to calculate the fuel quantity in LH wing, RH wing and Center tank when aircraft is on ground. Fuel quantity indication system is a computerized system. With known parameter of fuel such as fuel level, fuel density and fuel temperature indication system determined the fuel quantity and displayed it to flight crew.  During an aircraft operation there is a situation arise where fuel indication system is inoperative and such system put under MEL. In this case aircraft engineer has to calculate the fuel quantity with help Magnetic fuel level indicator. We can also determine the fuel quantity with help of MLI if no electrical power available in the ai
