Fuel Magnastick


how does the magnastick looks like??

it is something like this. attached is a B737 magnastick, but it is not so much different with the B744 magnastick

remember,
1. yellow in colour
2. 1 inch interval
3. higher value at the bottom, lower value at the top of the stick

how ruey

additional: according to fueling instruction manual, magnastick measurement to be filled in fuel log with the following:
1. the required stick length as per fueling manual
2. the correction depending on the attitude of aircraft.
3. from the correction above we'll get the actual length of the magnastick readout.

note that stick #34 for reserve tank 2/3 has no correction for full tank.

preset fuel quantity can be observed from fuel synoptic page below the actual tank quatity, but not in main EICAS page. (as observed from 9V-SFL) AMM stated it can be observed from main EICAS though so anyone found otherwise pls notify the guys, thanks
