An event that if not corrected could cause loss of life or damage to an easyJet asset If you think you have a red flag event you must contact duty pilot to se if he agrees If he does then do an asr and tick the red flag event.
55
Implications of Fuel leak
Must divert Keep cross bleed closed No reverse on landing If leak continues shutdown the engine on leak side Check fuel flow as this is a positive confirmation of an engine fuel feed leak Don't pick a CAT 3B alternate as you will be on one engine and you might want fire trucks to look at you
