CS 25.955 Fuel flow ED Decision 2016/010/R (See AMC 25.955) (a) Each fuel system must provide at least 100% of the fuel flow required under each intended operating condition and manoeuvre. Compliance must be shown as follows: (1) Fuel must be delivered to each engine at a pressure within the limits specified in the engine type certificate. (2) The quantity of fuel in the tank may not exceed the amount established as the unusable fuel supply for that tank under the requirements of [CS 25.959](#_DxCrossRefBm1709820721) plus that necessary to show compliance with this paragraph. (3) Each main pump must be used that is necessary for each operating condition and attitude for which compliance with this paragraph is shown, and the appropriate emergency pump must be substituted for each main pump so used.
