Where would you look for guidance on fuel selectors or cross-feed (if applicable)?

• A. In the Electrical System chapter.
• B. In the Engine section.
• C. In the Normal Procedures.
• D. In the Fuel System section of the Systems or Normal Procedures.

Answer: (D)

Fuel selectors and cross-feed are part of how the airplane delivers fuel to the engine, so the guidance lives in the fuel system information. In the POH you’ll find the details in the Fuel System section, which is typically listed under Systems, and in some aircraft the relevant procedures also appear in Normal Procedures if they relate to normal fuel management. That section covers what the selector does, how cross-feed works (if the airplane has it), any limitations, and the proper operating steps. The Electrical System chapter isn’t where fuel control is described, since it focuses on electrical power and components. The Engine section covers how the engine uses fuel and related controls, but not how you select tanks or use cross-feed. Normal Procedures may reference fuel management steps, but the specific guidance on the fuel selector and cross-feed is found in the Fuel System portion of Systems (or in Normal Procedures where applicable).
