On the Barton G115s, there is no sight for visual fuel inspection. We do keep tech logs in the a/c showing fuel uplifts, and the tendency after that little incident last year is to (shock horror) actually speak to the previous pilot/instructor to get reassurance on fuel state.
Must admit, my main reason for staying current on it is its relative availability for booking - because of the weight/power aspect, heavies dont book it for lessons so there's usually a slot available when I want one. But if they had a Slingsby or Citabria on the fleet - well that would be soooooooo much better ! They used to have both - now sadly missed. <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> <img src="mad.gif" border="0">
