In this episode, Captain Steeeve breaks down exactly how the Boeing 787’s fuel control switches work and clears up a lot of the misinformation going around.
He explains the real-world mechanics behind these simple but critical components, why they’re designed the way they are, and how they’re used in normal and emergency situations.
Steeeve also walks through the safety features that make accidental activation extremely unlikely, and puts to rest some of the more far-fetched theories about how they operate.
