This tread was originally about the 757 that landed in the Azores
after both
engines shut down due to fuel starvation. That is the incident I am
referring to. Apparently you are referring to the 767 incident
referred to
as "The Glimli Glider" incident. Perhaps we are confused over which
incident
each of us are referring to.

Air Transat A330-200 (Airbus) had the wrong pipe (or whatever) fitted
in the engine, hence fuel leaked (actually ****ed) out.

the Air Canada 767 (gimli glider) had the wrong amount of fuel loaded
because they failed to convert gallons to litre (or vice versa).

I think it was a confusion between pounds and kilograms actually and they
used the wrong specific gravity ( the pounds one ) for the kilograms
required.


No, they didn't.


Fjuwkit.
