Question What is the minimum fuel temperature for Jet 1A?
On my last ferry flight at FL 410 OAT was -70 Celsius. B737-800 fuel temperature gage indicated – 35 Celsius. I was trying to find the minimum fuel temp. for the fuel but the AOM /vol 1/limitations gives you this brief:

“Minimum inflight tank fuel temperature: 3C above the freezing point of the fuel being used or -43C, whichever is higher.”

So what is the freezing point for Jet 1A?
