BLUE ICE
 

What sort of dammage can blue ice from front refil can cause to B737 during flight

the right engine or leading edge of wing or some one's head on the ground.

Not as much as on the A320 on that it takes off both the alpha vanes on the left side.... it gives the ELAC,s and SEC,s a bit of a hard time !

Should not be much of a problem for the 737. The big problem is with 727. The Blue water can go right in the number 3 engine. There have been problems with blue ice ingestion causing failure of the number 3 engine in which 2 incidents resulted with the engine coming off the aircraft.

When I was flight engineer for Pan Am, I saw a few 727's that were leaking blue. There was a blue streak from the forward lav access panel going up and down along the windows and right into the engine.

A and C - ain't the 320 toilet panel at the back?

On the first A320 aircraft one of the servicing panels was at the front FWD and below the LH FWD main entry door.......one night i went out to fix a dump valve that was leaking after a lot of flushing and cleaning we got it to seal and with no more leakage evident after 4 hours i put pen to paper and let the thing go flying with the results posted above.

I suspect that these aircraft were the last to be fitted with the indivdual tanks and due to a change in heath and safety regulations all aircraft now have the air driven waist system.
