I should clarify, however, 20 to 30 gallons total would be my usual situation. Although, I confess one trip from KBKL to KEKM saw me landing with about 7 gallons and conservation measures were needed..

Carry on. 🙂 Bear in mind though that by law, you are required to be able to fly to your destination and for 30 minutes thereafter at normal cruising speed. Most pilots will tell you (those with more than two brain cells to rub together anyway) that you always want to plan on landing with 1 hour of fuel in the tanks. Personally I'm very conservative on fuel.

September 1, 20232 yr Great video's, especially because they are hosted by someone who has real-world experience with the aircraft and can explain a few things that are not in the manual. The immersion of the aircraft is great. You know that last night I almost skipped the walk-around because it was raining in the sim?
