Hovering, cruising, transporting, loitering...
experiencing different fuel states between hover and cruise, switching pumps.
its standard, that the next mission(s) are given over radio- while on one mission.
may be its due training with the RN, that I do a fuel check before takeoff,
check the burn rate around every 30 min
and have a close eye on in which tank my fuel is.
Canceling warnings without reacting accordingly is just what I can’t understand from an aviator point of view
if that’s „Bull....“ for you, I don’t want to fly with you...
i suspect DT had very similar experience and probably more of it, operating in the same way as you have with the same degree of airmanship. That you don’t understand that a whole lot of human factors can come together on that worst day, and result in disaster, is worrying. That you think it could never happen to you, means I don’t want to fly with you.
