Red face Fuel incidents

Wasn't there a Metro in late 2005 that made an emergency landing somewhere up there due to fuel exaustion? It was enroute to YSSY I think.
I will look it up.

Not sure where exactly it landed but it only had one engine running and about 8 litres of fuel left OB due to faulty/corroded sensors.


...Just found the report on the Metro. It had 51 lb of FOB, one engine inoperative and sensors showing 950 lb of FOB! The incident actually occured in Bundaburg, QLD. I don't know why I thought it was in NSW.

It could, however, occur btn regional centres and Sydney.
