It is also forgotten here that they would have had more fuel if ATC hadnt stuffed up their level across the atlantic. Only the other day a flight from the west coast to LHR was having fuel temp problems (too cold) and the only way they could getATC to understand was to declare a PAN and descend and go faster,otherwise they would have been left way up high. Oh , and l have recently returned from SFO in a 400 and l would have continued towards LHR depending on the engine failure.Note we say towards,there are plenty of places to go if things change.
And another thing,as a result of this incident,crews spent time on the next sim check going through odd fuel configurations ,something that has never been made clear reading the sketchy manuals.I wonder how many 400 operators have done the same thing.That part of the sim detail was excellent.
