Failure of the left forward ejector, aft cell ejector or both boost pumps will result in trapped fuel and the only indication to the aircrew will be illumination of the corresponding _______ warning on the EICAS page.

Failure of the left forward ejector, aft cell ejector or both boost pumps will result in trapped fuel and the only indication to the aircrew will be illumination of the corresponding _______ warning on the EICAS page.

• A. FEED TANK
• B. FUEL PUMP
• C. FUEL WARNING
• D. BALANCE TELLTALE

Answer: (A)

The situation tests how fuel feed failures are signaled to the crew. In the MH-65E, the ejectors and boost pumps move fuel from specific tanks to the engine. If the left forward ejector, the aft cell ejector, or both boost pumps fail, fuel can become trapped in that tank and not reach the engine. The crew is alerted by the FEED TANK warning on the EICAS page, signaling a problem with feeding fuel from that tank. Why this is the best choice: the FEED TANK warning directly indicates a malfunction in the fuel feed path from the affected tank, which matches the described scenario of trapped fuel due to ejector/boost pump failure. Other warnings would point to pump faults in general (FUEL PUMP) or a generic/facility-agnostic alert (FUEL WARNING), or to fuel quantity/balance indicators (BALANCE TELLTALE), none of which precisely reflect the trapped-fuel feed condition.
