We don't have a ****ing phone on the airplane!
Except my own cellphone which I use to call up and whine at
(s)crewing.



Aha! So that explains the whine a poster was asking about the other
day!
Does anyone know if both engines feed off the same tank(s) on
approach? It was at the end of a 10 hour flight wasn't it?

Well, they shouldn't be off the same tank. It's always tank to engine on
approach in any case fo rany transport aircraft. During climb and cruise
you'd uce the center tank, but even then when it runs out it automatically
feeds from the appropriate wing tank in any transport. The fuel systems are
really incredibly simple from the pilot's point of view. You turn all the
pumps on and forget them until you're parked at the other end.
