Thus it follows that a pre-flight fuel drain check is vital on the touring aircraft
the words "the touring" in that sentenance should be changed to "all" if it's to make any sense.
I don't really believe the whole condensation in the thanks thing. The amount of water that can be produced from this is very minor in my view. Water in tanks generally come from poor/old seals on the filler caps and some rain in my experience.
Proctor,
Each club/school will have it's own policy on it. You should ask when hiring the aircraft what the policy is there. Any club I've flown with, the policy was not to reful after flight, to allow the next person to choose the fuel level.
Otherwise you generally end up fueling twice between each flight.....Once after landing to 3/4 or tab's, and then again when the next person decides that they have no w/b issues, and want full tanks.
