Innuendo: Good to hear we have the same book <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> . .I know this is "nitpickin" but what the heck, im bored today. As i am new on the type please feel free to correct me where i might be wrong.

We were told to do ECAM actions all the way through, then consult QRH and FCOM (time permitting). .If by any chance you get a fuel leak before the pressure switch(that doesnt flame the eng out, if possible) I guess the first you would see are Fuel Press Low lights. It calls for opening x-feed amongst other. There is NO QRH proc for Fuel Press Low. The next thing you see on ECAM is Fuel Imbalance. And from there.....

I know we are probably well awake before this, but my point is: ECAM may have a few shortcomings. I know you cant have "LEAK" detectors, as someone pointed out, but maybe a little caution on ECAM might be proper. Just so Airbus dont get sued everytime we run out of fuel

And YES i DO like the Airplane.
