Guest Darren Masters Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Just noticed this on an ACARS message. Maybe they are monitoring this due to the BA incident? ACARS mode: S Aircraft reg: VH-OJU [boeing B747-438] Message label: H1 [Message to/from terminal] Block id: 9 Msg no: D36A Flight id: QF0032 [London-Heathrow, UK-Sydney, Australia via Singapore, Changi, Singapore] [Qantas] Message content:- #2UBFTE 2 VH-OJU QFA0032 0845 21DEC08 WSSS YSSY DC 585 167 148 FUEL TANK TEMP BELOW -15 DEG C FOR 0.62 HRS COUNT 4 PERIOD 1 GMT FT PALT LAT LONG SAT TAT MAC DEN0808 -16 39936
Uncle Chop Chop Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Why would they warry about the Fuel Tank Temp?
Guest Darren Masters Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Why would they warry about the Fuel Tank Temp? With the BA incident the fuel was partly frozen as the temp of the fuel dropped. This caused the engines not to respond to the pilots increase in throttle (for obvious reasons).
