15 MINUTES INTO FLIGHT FROM KEGE TO KBFI, THE FLIGHT CREW RECEIVED A WING TANK OâFULL L CAS MESSAGE. AFTER FOLLOWING QRH CHECKLIST, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED THE LEFT WING TANK HAD DECREASED QUANTITY BY APPROXIMATELY 300 POUNDS. THE PILOT LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND NOTICED FUEL VENTING FROM THE LH WING. AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS GIVEN CLEARANCE TO LAND AT KSLC. WHILE HEADING TOWARDS KSLC, THE FLIGHT CREW MADE THE DECISION TO CROSS-FEED FUEL FROM THE RH WING TANK TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT FROM CREATING A FUEL IMBALANCE.
