WHEN THE EXPANDED FUEL TANK INDICATION ARE DISPLAYED ?
DURING A NON-NORMAL OPERATION THE L, R, C INDICATIONS OF QTY ARE SHOWN
THE FUEL QTY IN THE B787 MAY FLUCTUATE?
YES THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL DUE TO THE UNIQUE SHAPE OF THE B787 WINGS
WHEN THE FUEL TEMPERATURE IS SHOWN IN AMBER?
WHEN IS APPROACHING EITHER THE FREEZING TEMP ENTERED IN THE CDU OR WHEN APPROACHING THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE
WHICH FUEL TEMPERATURE ARE DISPLAYED IN THE SYNOPTIC?
ACTUAL FUEL TEMP AND MINIMUM FUEL TEMPERATURE
HOW MANY FUEL PUMP ARE INSTALLED IN EACH TANK?

LOSING ONE PUMP CAN U COMPROMISE THE ENGINE EFFICIENCY?
NO EACH PUMP IS ABLE IN SINGLE PUMP OPERATION TO SUPPLY FUEL TO THE ENGINE IN ANY OPERATING CONDITION

WHICH ARE THE RISKS OF A SUCTION FEED?
