Date of Application: June 13, 2008 Date Reissued: Date of Issuance: January 9, 2009 Date Amended: FEDERAL AVIATION By Direction of the Administrator (Signature) TOMNIST RATION Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office (Title) Joel Marketello 16818 160th Ct. SE Renton, WA 98058 **FAA-APPROVED** **SUPPLEMENTAL AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL** FOR FUEL SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS ON Piper J5A N397PA Serial #5-397 GENERAL The purpose of this manual is to acquaint the pilot with the operation of the modification that adds a left wing fuel tank to the original fuel system utilizing one right wing fuel tank. On the left sidewall of the cockpit forward of the front seat the original Piper JSA fuel shutoff valve push-pull knob is located. It is placarded pull to shut off and push to turn on, and it must be on for all operations. It is in the "off" position only when the engine is not running and isolates fuel from the firewall forward. Ahead of the fuel shutoff valve control knob on the left sidewall of the cockpit are two shutoff valves, one for each main tank. Each shutoff valve has a lever and is placarded to indicate on and off positions and capacity of each tank (18 gallons). Each lever can only be turned on and off, no other positions are possible. The aircraft may be flown with either left or right main fuel tank valve on. If both valves are on fuel is used from both tanks simultaneously. The left main fuel tank is placarded at the filler neck, "Fuel right tank first" to prevent fuel transfer from one tank to the other during fueling. LIMITATIONS Main fuel tanks 36 gallons capacity Main fuel shutoff valve must be on for all operations FAA Approved FOR : Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office Federal Aviation Administration 1601 Lind Ave SW Renton, WA 98055 Date 1-9-09 Page 1 of 3 Supplemental AFM Piper JSA ST10512SE-A PLACARDS Cockpit Left Sidewall LEFT TANK 18 GAL CAPACITY ON OFF <→ ON OFF **MAIN FUEL VALVE MUST** **BE ON FOR ALL OPERATIONS RIGHT TANK 18 GAL CAPACITY ON OFF** EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In case of engine fire place main fuel shutoff valve in off position CAUTIONS At least one of either left or right wing tank valves must be on for all operations. The aircraft may be flown with both left and right wing fuel tank valves on. If both valves are on fuel is used from both tanks simultaneously. Fuel shutoff valve must be on for all operations. PROCEDURES If fuel imbalance exists after flight, position fuel shutoff valve to the off position and leave both wing tank valves in the on position. Over time fuel will transfer from the higher quantity wing tank to the lower quantity wing tank, balancing fuel load. PERFORMANCE No change Page 2 of 3 WEIGHT AND BALANCE Changes to weight and balance are incorporated in the latest Aircraft Weight and Balance Revision. Left wing fuel tank distance from datum is same as right wing fuel tank (+23 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Originally the Piper JA was equipped with a single 18 gallon right wing fuel tank. This STC adds an 18 gallon left wing fuel tank. HANDLING, SERVICING, and MAINTENANCE Both wing fuel tanks are sumped from the wing lower surface roots aft of the fuel gauges. Fuel gascolator is sumped by opening left engine side cowl for access. All inspection and maintenance instructions are included in the "Instructions for Continued Airworthiness" document in the STC.
