Looking at the non normal checklist for the landing gear....
Gear down with one brace unlocked (there are two braces on each MLG)
The first items, reference ground prox gear ovrd s/w selection, the use of flap 30 and not to arm the speedbrake make sense.
BUT I don't understand the reasoning behind the final item
When at pattern altitude, fuel pump s/w (all) OFF
What is the reasoning behind this....or am I missing the obvious?:confused:
