You are quite right; I should have checked that
A simple check of BEA's figures shows that they were assuming transfer into the feeder tanks.
Their sums say one needs to transfer about 700kg to make a CG shift from 54.2% to 54% (starting with a ZFCG of 52.4%). However, the engineer's panel after the crash showed that he had dialled in the loadsheet ZFCG at 52.3% so the fuel system would have transferred only 350 kg.
I can't see anything to suggest otherwise than that fuel transfer was stopped when TO began and that tank 5 remained at 94% total capacity throughout
We crossed in post, but where did you get the information that transfer was continued through take off? I didn't find anything in the official report
