At 1200 RA on the final he retracts the flaps from 30 to 25. Maybe they planned 25 and just inadvertently placed the lever one notch too far?

In can't see the flaps, but at 1200 RA the red speed tape goes up to 205 which is the limit for flap 25 :-)

I noticed that they started the engines one by one instead 3+4 & 1+2, although they have AUTOSTART ON.
Is there a reason to do so?

What page is on the secondary EICAS at 43:00?

What page is on the secondary EICAS at 43:00?

I asked myself the same as I saw that.

[Markus Vitzethum]

Might be a maintenance page (CMC?). There are more of those...

e.g. https://www.airliners.net/photo/Lufthansa/Boeing-747-430M/428859/L

Yes, these are maintenance pages, selectable through the CMC.

[Avi]

To be very precise, this is the CMC maintenance Environment Control System (Air Supply System, these is also Air Conditioning System) page.

In CMC-PSX there are no maintenance pages in the lower EICAS but you can print a report that simulates it.

Here is the equivalent report:



Markus's photo is the Flight Control page.

Walter,

I believe that if OAT is 30C or above, engines must be started one at a time.

Note: I have not seen the video, so I do not know the OAT thus, this statement might be inaccurate for this specific case.

Regards,

Mariano

@ 31:56 in that video, during the walkaround, the F/O talks about leaks from the flap drive fairings (pods). There is nothing inside those that would leak. There are only greased mechanical drives.

@ 38:03
That dripping is melting ice. It often falls from this area, as warm fuel is loaded into the tanks, but I sometimes checked it to make sure it wasn't fuel.

Does anyone know what he means by GPS jamming causing ATC LEFT/RIGHT Status messages?

Any leaks coming from flap fairings are usually associated with hydraulic leaks from the spoiler or aileron systems. Not very common. In cold climates de-icing fluid and melting ice is normal to see during the winter months.
