Thanks for the answers,

So, you lost a fuel pump, when you wrote in the tech log how was the a/c released, under the MEL or was it fixed?
It didn`t work for half an hour , then came back on line and never failed again.


According to my FCOM the Status page will show in flight:--
Yes ,I know , also on mine , but the truth is it didn`t show.

In the event of failure of the remaining main pump in the affected tank, 2000 kg of fuel will not be available in the affected tank.
If the 2 main pumps of the same side are inoperative then L (R) INR TK: 2T unusable
It`s correct what nitpicker330 says.With 2 pumps faulty we have two tones unavail.
And then the fuel unavailable makes sense. It`s because the std by pump is out of the colector tank and in the aft part of the tank.

And now I also understand that it should show on status page only if I had two pumps faulty, not with only one.

Agree?
