747 Classic H for landing
OK, ok. We all know why we want to set up the fuel panel on the 747 classic in the "classic H" configuration for takeoff, but I think we should keep it in the classic H config when tanks 2 & 3 are equal to 1 & 4 plus reserves. But my new company is adamant about closing the crossfeeds for 1 & 4 and just leaving #2 open to keep the manifold pressurized.
I would rather set it up with both 1 & 4 crossfeeds open (2 & 3 closed) to pressurize the manifold, but can't think of a good argument for it.
Any thoughts?
