Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of a jettison system in an aircraft?

To allow for easier refueling during long flights.

To maintain a constant fuel supply in all tanks.

To increase the aircraft's fuel efficiency during flight.

To dump excess fuel to meet landing weight requirements. (correct)

Why do some aircraft have jettison systems despite being designed for overweight landings?

To enhance the aircraft's speed.

To allow pilots to practice emergency procedures.

To prevent high stress on the fuselage during overweight landings. (correct)

Study Notes

Jettison System

A jettison system allows pilots to dump fuel overboard to prevent exceeding the maximum landing weight of the aircraft.
This system helps to prevent high stress on the fuselage during overweight landings.
The jettison system ensures that the aircraft is light enough for a go-around, which is a maneuver to abort a landing and climb back up, in case of an engine failure.
Not all fuel tanks are connected to the jettison system, preventing the aircraft from being completely emptied of fuel in flight.
The system ensures a minimum amount of fuel remains to reach the next airport.
