Losing Fuel
New to the forums, so hello everyone.
I have a question about procedure in the event that you are losing fuel from a single wing tank. In the emergency procedures section of the A10 manual they instruct you to enable crossfeed to cofirm a leak, and if the fuel pressure light is still illuminated disable crossfeed pull the corresponding engine t-handle and shut down the boost pumps for the affected wing.
My question is why would you need to completely disable the engine? The only reason I could think of would be to prevent an engine fire?
My second question is in regards to the SAS. Is it standard procedure to disable SAS in a single engine situation?
Thanks!
