- well, we are getting there, but slowly! I agree with the sentiment of that (as per my post #4), but the problem we/I have is that I can only work on very limited information. Right from Day1 of my 737 life, I was told once the LEDS are out on the alt system that is it. Later, a bright, enthusiastic BA training Cpt went to great lengths on a white board to prove this was not so. Looking at the Tech Manual gives very little clue. There, there is NO suggestion that autoslat needs to be 'triggered' to power the LED line (hence no need to 'stall'?) - the 'feed' from the PTU goes amorphously into the 'autoslat and lE slats and flaps' box
suggesting that with simple loss of no 2 EDP (etc) the line may well be 'presurised'. IMO it is not "dangerous information” at all but useful background. Unfortunately 'Todders' did cause some confusion by introducing an engine failure into the thread
So - not that a sim trial would be conclusive, of course, but I would be interested to know the answer. Any idea why Boeing made it work at Flap10?
