My point is to not rely solely on electrical components/indications.


Who said anything about making the fuel flow meter one's sole source of
information with respect to fuel quantity?

Geez...take a chill pill. The correct "takeaway" here is that a) fuel flow
meters ARE useful (when properly calibrated) and b) you cannot trust any one
source of information (not even your watch) and so the more sources of
information you have available, the better (so you can cross-reference).

It's got nothing to do with being "one of the soon to be gone dinosaurs".
Other than a dinosaur who refuses to take advantage of new technology *in
addition to* their existing tools may be gone sooner rather than later, that
is.

Pete
