What is the primary function of the Fuel Quantity Management Computer (FQMC)?

The primary function of the Fuel Quantity Management Computer (FQMC) is to monitor fuel gauging and metering. This system plays a critical role in providing accurate fuel quantity information to the flight crew, which is essential for effective flight planning, weight calculations, and ensuring safe fuel management during flight operations.

In the context of aviation, having precise information about fuel quantities helps pilots make informed decisions regarding range, endurance, and potential alternate routes. The FQMC processes data from various fuel sensors throughout the aircraft to provide real-time information about the amount of usable fuel in each tank, contributing to the overall safety and performance of the Falcon 2000LXS. Other functions, while important, are not the primary focus of the FQMC. For instance, controlling refueling valves or managing hydraulic fluid reservoir levels are tasks handled by different systems designed specifically for those functions. Calculating fuel used and temperatures could be components of the overall fuel management process, but the essential task remains centered around monitoring fuel levels and providing accurate information to the flight crew.
