Bruce,
Thanks for the link. I followed the additional link to the Portugese Report and re-read it. Had read it many years before! It makes pretty damning reading! Page 58 of 103 confirms what I have been saying about the fuel leak checklist being a bit `punchy` - in fact the Air Transat captain himself admitted that he had not wanted to descend to the gravity ceiling.
I am still a bit puzzled as to why your posted checklist should have been so different from mine(Asian carrier) which was identical to the one provided to Air Transat as listed in the report. Did AC modify their Airbus checklists?
