You lose the yellow pump, you obviously ain't going anywhere. Not sure this is even an issue.
Yes this is obvious. The point I was making was the Spirit manuals have been changed several times in the many years I have been operating the aircraft. A lot of the procedures we have now stray cignifacantly from the original type certificate procedures manuals. We started with the manufacturer publications when we first got the bus. Developed by the people that built the jet. I could bore you with many examples but you will probably just flame me with your expert knowledge. So..... Never mind.
Good luck out there.
