Still getting to know the product and have hit a couple of minor snags...mostly me not knowing what the logic is.1. Engine Anti-Ice - Is there logic around this, or does the FO always just turn it on?2. Taxi Light - After touchdown it is always turned off by the FO during rollout (with the landing lights). I think it may not be being turned off after takeoff, but I'm not sure3. Center Fuel Pumps - Anyway to have the FO not switch them on when the tanks are below a certain level (i.e. 1000lbs)? Or perhaps a way to just avoid getting them out of sync?Thanks!

Hi,1. FO turns engine anti-ice on when temps below 10 degrees and visible moisture present. Try it on a hot day with clear skies.2. FO should turn the taxi light off after takeoff during his after takeoff flow. Please double check that.3. FO should not currently be turning on the center pumps if if the fuel is below a certain level already. I'd have to check the code for the exact level, though. Try it with empty center tanks to see.Best,

1. Cool, thanks.2. Will check, but I've noticed on a few flights that it is left in Auto3. I seem to remember a Boeing AD requires a certain amount of fuel in the center tank (i.e. don't let it run dry to keep the wiring submerged and avert a potential explosion). I thought that amount was 1,000lbs but could definitely be mistaken. If you get a chance, can you let me know what the level is?Thanks for all of your help! Again, fantastic product!
