Why is that interesting? US-made engines and avionics....

TeeVee takes himself very seriously. Not as seriously as BoeingBobby, thankfully, but still......

Well...for one thing, that procedure is for a 320 which is not what was involved in the HiFly incident. For another thing, there are 2 BMC, each with 2 lanes, which this "lit" seems to fail to mention. Finally, our current dual bleed loss procedure is different from what is in the "lit", albeit not radically different....

The scenario you describe would require for both BMC lanes to malfunction as well, hence the "failure due to excessive demand". One of BMC's job is precisely to control that demand precisely to prevent what you're describing. So, it seems very unlikely that that's what happened here.
I will say something else, though, and that is that the crossbleed valve does not, in my opinion, get enough attention in the training process. Granted, it is not something that we manipulate regularly, but it seems to me it does not get the respect it deserves....

On that note, my airline was the one that "opened" Palmirola as a civilian airport. You are welcome....

He told us himself that he would routinely do the before landing checklist at like 200', so...I mean... he might have been exaggerating, but who knows?...

I pray to Lakshmi that she grant me the grace that what I am about to say does not come across as confrontational and vitriolic, but would I be incorrect in thinking that an expert of your caliber is familiar with the concept of a crossbleed valve and what it does? Furthermore, and may Ra in his wisdom make this come across as also not confrontational and vitriolic, but certainly you are aware that the engine bleed valves are also deferrable. How do you reckon the bleed system would be configured in that scenario?...
