| 主权项 | 1. A method of controlling the centre of gravity of an aircraft having a plurality of fuel tanks, the method comprising calculating, upon detection of the failure of one or more fuel quantity indicators (FQI) associated with respective fuel tanks, a decrease in gross weight of the aircraft based on an amount of fuel used during flight, and transferring fuel from one or more of the fuel tanks according to a predetermined sequence, the timing of the sequence being dependent on the calculated decrease in gross weight of the aircraft. | ||
