How much fuel do you prefer to carry?

Most pilots here are not instrument rated, and some of those who are are more interested in scoring points against me in a one-sided game than in following the path of safety. I will not yield to this, so there's no sense in trying it. Translation: I, Anthony Atkielski, am a ****ing moron and damn proud of it! |

Translation: *I, Anthony Atkielski, am a ****ing moron and damn proud of The other aspect of his personality is last-word-itis. Don't you really enjoy getting tutorials from a non pilot recluse living in a hovel in Paris? It isn't that wisdom can't come from such a location, but this particular fountain doesn't offer wisdom, but self gratifying babble. We do give him attention, though, so that justifies his postings. I'll follow viperdoc's suggestion though, and attempt to ignore him for a while. Exchanges are no longer entertaining. |

How much fuel do you prefer to carry?

wrote: When you fly, how much fuel do you prefer to carry? Do you just load enough to meet the FARs? Do you like to add a fudge factor? If so, how much? Do you prefer to fly with full tanks irrespective of the length of the flight? Is it significantly more expensive to fly with the tanks topped off for every flight on small aircraft, or does it not make much difference? I almost always carry full fuel (70 gallons). That is opposed to also filling the tip tanks for a total of 30 more gallons. I'm paranoid about fuel. Even a 20 mile trip may turn into several hundred miles due to weather. The weather isn't always as predictable as some think. Significant is a nebulous term. Yes, it costs more to haul an extra 30 or 40 gallons (180# to 240#). and yes, I've had weather that was forecast to be clear and unlimited visibility result in one of the roughest rides I've ever had in IMC.

Airlines seem to worry about the cost of hauling fuel. I don't know how much that cost amounts to in small aircraft; probably not very much. At least from my cautious point of view, I see it as cheap insurance. Makes no difference, moron, all you every fly is a desk. |

Since you never came up with that "reliable information" you claim to use it means you are lying. Anthony, you are a liar and not telling the truth. Where are your cites from the necessity of flying by reference to instruments while IMC, hmmm? I knew you didn't have any, as does everyone else which makes you a liar. Nothing you say on here can be trusted unless you back up your words. Ricky |
