How does the auto balance system work to manage fuel load?

The auto balance system in aircraft is designed to optimize fuel distribution in order to maintain proper balance and performance. Specifically, it manages fuel load by transferring fuel from one wing tank to the other as necessary. When fuel levels in one wing become lower than in the other, the system automatically redistributes fuel to ensure that the aircraft remains balanced, which is crucial for safe flight operations and to prevent any adverse aerodynamic effects.

This fuel transfer helps in maintaining the center of gravity within acceptable limits, enhancing stability and control. The system continuously monitors fuel levels in the tanks and acts to equalize them as needed, ensuring that the aircraft can perform efficiently regardless of fuel usage patterns across its tanks.
