Illumination of the Fuel Valve Fail Light

Steady or flickering illumination of the fuel valve fail light indicates a failure or impending failure of the fuel system shutoff valve, the light system circuitry, or a component of the system.

If this light illuminates during takeoff, action is required. The exact procedure to follow varies with each set of circumstances and depends on variables like ground speed, length of runway, and remaining overrun.

If the fuel valve fail light illuminates steadily, or flickers during ground roll, and sufficient runway or overrun is available, abort the takeoff.

If it is not feasible to abort, continue takeoff and land as soon as possible.
