TRENT procedures for low fuel temps

Hi jumbojet

Your pal increased speed to decimal 88 to increase the fuel temps?

This works because the higher engine oil temp transfers to the fuel mass via a heat exchanger? Of course he had four engines as opposed to two.

So in your company SOP you have a plan to address low fuel temps en route?

Now it seems to me that if instructions were to SAVE FUEL from BA operations I can see another possible factor in the failure.
