Hi all,
Interesting discussion. My fuel indicator probe only goes down as far as the
fuel
tank saddle. So when my gauge indicates zero, with a pre-warning, then I have
9.5 litres remaining on the Main tank (left) and 9.5L remaining in the Reserve
Tank which I take as 30 mins endurance in each to be conservative. When zero
indication occurs then I change straight away to the RESERVE TANK to be certain
it flows ok, then after 30 mins back to the MAIN TANK for 30 mins.
Has worked well in the past as one flight I was down to 7 litres left on
landing!
Not a good look for an airline pilot, NOW RETIRED with Early retirement and
COVID 19 saga. The financial meltdown in the Airline industry! A changed world.
Cheers,
Tim

I know how much is in there before takeoff.
