Now that would be cool. The only airport we get a report on the temp is PANC. Everywhere else we use the most conservative, which is why we get an amber fuel low temp at -37C. We can somewhat ignore it as long as we know for sure what we have on board.
I'm not sure where they were but terrain along the Asia-Europe/UK routes wouldn't probably allow them to descend low enough to make a difference, especially if they were on Y1. Anyone know MMO on the 777?
