A question from a nonpilot trying to understand things.
Oluf, I can see how ice could cause the symptoms you describe above on your MD-80, but I am at a loss to see how core ice could lead to reduction of fuel flow (and we know it was reduction of fuel flow on the BA flight)
Can you explain it to me please?
