- delta_p_delta_x 3y agoAt some point, this isn't sufficient, and pilots need to start the auxiliary power unit (APU) and go through the full restart procedure as though on the ground. But this is a moot point, given there was no fuel left...
- picadores 3y agoMakes one wonder. Fuel is measurable, not only via fuel sensors, but as inertia expected vs inertia actual by laser gyro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope). There must have been some pretty deviant values on that screen. Unless the system just "calibrated" those deviances away..
