I am very new to instructing, so bear with me, when i was training, and building hours, it was a habit to refuel the aircraft after every sortie, [within reason]. My instructing so far has consisted of trial leasons, and i do a visual inspection of the fuel before each flight. my question is this, when say a C-152 has flown, two and a half hours,and you look in the tanks and the fuel is bellow tabs, but you can just see it sploshing around [cause the lights rubbish] how much fuel is in there? are you going to look over cautious,knowing that by the numbers, you have at least an hour of safe flying, and you have a half hour, trial leason thats waiting to get airborne, as i said i'm very green so would welcome some input, cheers, max.
