Depends on the engines. Early ones had A1P's (ATTCS in both ALT-T/O and T/O modes), later had A1E's (as equipped on 145XR's) with an ET/O setting available.

It also flies higher...FL410 if I recall.

And no service door.

Its a simple enough system that you could be shown it in preflight and get it.

However, here is a quick run down. You have the same wing fuel in the 135BJ as you do in a 145/135 LR model. Then you add the auxiliary tank system which pumps fuel from the fuselage (ahead of the wing) into the wing tanks and then like normal its pushed or sucked into the engines.

The aux tanks are split into two and called FUS 1 and FUS 2. Each FUS has a forward and aft tank, you'll notice this setting up the fuel system which is much more complicated then it should've been. But anyways, in flight you take the FUS selector (kind of in the same place as the XR's center tank if you flew those) to either 1 or 2 and start pumping fuel from the FUS tank into the wing and then later you pump the other FUS tank into the wing.

There are some rules to abide by with that transfer system and if you forget the rules there are several EICAS warnings and cautions to point out your screw up.

In general, you have 5700lbs in each wing, once the wing gets to just below 4200lbs then it can start taking a FUS transfer.

As to fueling, with the 145 you just say 10,000 lbs and turn the switch on and go, the 135BJ you take the wings to the max limit then set FUS 1 and FUS 2. If I remember correctly, you didn't have to set each FWD and AFT tank in each FUS, but maybe you did, or maybe you could if you wanted but you didn't have too. I don't remember. Just get 40PSI on the truck man, without it, it'll goof up the refueling and the computers will shut it down and give you the big middle finger. And if you did have a fuel mess up or it went out of limits, then you had to pull out a book and do a really obscure and crazy maneuver to right it.

The fuel system is 18300lbs, give or take, with 11400lbs belonging to the wings and 3461 lbs belonging to each FUS tank giving the total FUS tanks together 6900 lbs.

Question Legacy drivers

Is bright work allowed on the Legacy?

I have heard yes and no....

We had our aircraft as a show plane for Embraer once and they did it for us, so YES it is allowed and if done right you're looking around $1500-$3000. Although I've seen good work done for less by local folks who were insured. Always make sure they're insured. Screw it up and you might be buying a new leading edge and I'm sure insurance does not cover that. Or thats how it was explained to me by my Embraer rep. Talk to them first.
