Going Down.

At 20W over the wet bits I don’t think I’d be trying to do the maths on this one, thoughtful formulae kindly provided from this thread!

I’d be hoping all the ETOPS fiction dreamt up by the airlines and eagerly certified by the xAAs actually worked in practice?

And if it actually had seized, was it still on the pylon or were the terrified pax filming the remains of fuel, electrics, hydraulics and pneumatics systems on their mobile phones hoping loved ones would see their recovered last filming efforts?

I’m still waiting for an authoritative answer to the likelihood of a “dry” HP fuel pump overheating snd causing a potential engine fire.

As Monty Python used to say when a sketch had run out of steam........”This sketch is silly, stop it at once!”.
