Allowing that the Capt can decide exactly what he wants his FO to do or not do, may I make a point or two about your post.
a. Not in your book perhaps but certainly Birdseed used to (maybe still do?) preset 40 tonnes as Fuel To Remain during the pre-flight.
b. Discuss with the Continental(?) Classic crew out of Gatwick re. the F/E's instant fuel dump after engine loss and the ground clearance crossing Russ Hill !!
c. See above !!
d. Not so - it CAN take place once above Flap 10 (2&3 X-feeds re-open); is ADVISED not to be done between F5 and F1 (for obvious aerodynamic reasons)and the jettison gallery opens with either of the jettison controllers selected.
e. Possible, maybe, but with the nozzles where they are, I would have thought it would need a fair head of fuel in the gallery.
However, see opening sentence <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
One point in passing, re. pre-setting the Fuel to Remain - Having set the amount and switched the controller selector to OFF, please bear in mind that the Fuel to Remain selector is STILL ACTIVE, even with the Jettison selectors OFF. In other words, if someone moves it, unintentionally, the Fuel to Remain figure WILL change.
