Thanks. It is a short nose model.
Is it possible to run the engines on the wing from the main tanks and the centre engine from the tips?
On an empty positioning flight might you consider shutting down the centre engine to conserve gas or would this make the prospect of an engine failure a bit too hairy?
This may seem like a stupid question but how hard is it to check the oil on the centre engine? just a big ladder required?
