Guest Darren Masters Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Just noticed this on an ACARS message. Maybe they are monitoring this due to the BA incident?

Guest Darren Masters Posted December 21, 2008 Share 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).
