While not saying it is the cause and with all due respect "cavitation" IS fuel disruption to pumps, at least introduction of vapour or air. The report stated suction damage to pumps.

So perhaps get off pilots' backs about flap settings and other procedures and think about the engineering/fluid dynamics issues that evidence of cavitation on pumps in the report suggests.

"I think the previous poster who suggested fuel starvation is reading something into the report that isn't there. There's nothing I can see in this report that gives an indication of the cause"
