SOP’s are there to be followed for a damn good reason and it usually involves saving your ass both during the event and after in any subsequent investigation.
STOP IT.
Follow your Airbus approved AFM FCOM and don’t make up stuff yourself mate.
It’s not hard surely.
p.s. what has the TAT got to do with fuel pump issues? Is there anything in the A320 FCOM that refers to TAT and fuel pump usage on the ground?
Is your TAT probe aspirated on the ground? Because if it’s sitting in the Sun it will over read, if it’s wet and windy it will under read. It’s not reliable until the Engines are running.
