Something I did not expect

[Lars Hajema]

Did a flight in the bus from KIAH to KJFK and back, both legs around 3 hours. Haven't flown the IAE in a while, I'm more a CFM guy  really forgot how quickly the IAE get's away from u during taxi.

Flight went amazing, until I got the the descent into KIAH on the way back, was planning the MCDU when I got a master caution with the message: FUEL L OUTER TK HI TEMP. Something I did not expect in any way. I check the fuel page, and indeed L OUTER TK had a temp of 56 degrees, which is high, but not enough to disconnect the IDG, I did however ended up turning off GEN 1, compensated by using the APU during descent and landing. Absolutely loved the little curveball that the bus threw at me!  Really involves you with what is happening instead of just sticking the autopilot in and leaving for 3 hours.

Here are some pictures:

Back at KIAH, left the flaps in 1+F due to the 32 degrees outside

It's happened to me a few times as well. I'm base out of KPHX and temps this past week of 40+ were not uncommon on the ground.

Waauw Aaron, I'm already suffering from heat stroke by hearing that . KPHX is a beatifull airport, especially with the flightbeam scenery from what I hear and see in pictures. Must be weird not seeing al those US airways around anymore at KPHX

Oh yes, we hit 47 last week. I do like the nice American liveries though.
