787cruiser, Sink Rate, Jack, etc. I believe Boeing has changed the fuel leak checklist several times after the incident mentioned by 787cruiser. The present checklist DOES NOT mention ENGINE FUEL LEAK after the condition of imbalance of 1000lbs per 30 minutes or more after initiating the checklist procedure. Billabongbill, I believe that was the incident of mentioned. Kudos to the PIC who had the guts to defy the know - alls from dispatch and maintenance who had all the time to scrutinise the real time data at leisure in the comfort of their snug offices on the ground, and still erred in their assessment! I had flown many times with the skipper of that flight and found him to be a consummate B777 operator. Sadly, he came from the backwaters of SEAsia and the powers that be deemed fit to let him sweat while they quibble over who to blame!
