The reason to reset center tank pumps and removal of this requirement is given below.
MODIFICATION NUMBER
30961
(SB 28-1092)
This modification deletes the requirement to reset the MODE SEL pb on the overhead fuel panel when refueling from the cockpit refuel panel
A logic is introduced to latch off the center tank pump once the center tank is empty in flight. The pumps were normally unlatched during the next refueling by opening the refuel panel door. This was not the case, if the pilot chooses to command the refueling from the cockpit, and the center tank pumps remained latched off.
As a consequence, the AUTOFEED FAULT was generated on the next flight leg.
To avoid this behavior, a reset of the MOD SEL pb on the cockpit overhead panel has been introduced into the FCOM refueling procedure 2.01.30.
Also it is not mandatory to select MAX reverse depending on LDA you may select reverse idle only.
