How much fuel do you prefer to carry?

Which really isn't that much for a tall, big boned individual with cloths, a flight bag, backup handheld, spare batteries, headset, AFD, charts, a bottle of water, etc. One might have to ask as to how he could get a check ride :-) |

The only instructor light enough such that we could carry enough fuel left before I got around to it. Nor can I get a tail wheel endoresment from the local guy with a Champ as between the two of us we can't carry enough fuel. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

How much fuel do you prefer to carry?
"Bob F." wrote in message . .. First of all, I'll bet he wouldn't even be able to fit in a C152. Second of all, It would be nice if someone would take a serious shot at answering the question. I answered the OP question a long time ago. We are on a tangential question now. "Name an aircraft that will be overweight with a full load of fuel even with only the required pilot(s) aboard." Please don't take a Bill Clinton position and ask for a definition for each of the words. You know exactly what this question is asking. Because it's just another one of his bull**** questions, that serve no purpose. How many REAL PILOTS, do you think will go to sleep tonight pondering the answer to this question? |

I don't think the C152 requires 2 pilots and we are talking about standard pilot weights. Can you think of a correct answer? I hesitated to get into this thread, since I've got a feeling that this is a trick question. A late '70s C150 with a moderately equipped panel (1 navcom & txp) has a useful load of ~450 lbs. Subtract 144 lbs. for a full fuel load and you're left with 306 lbs. A pre-solo training flight requires both a student and an instructor. They would have to average 153 lbs. each to meet the weight limit. Well below even the old standard of 170 lbs. Go ahead and pick away.
