Fascinating. I can well imagine fuel gauges being inaccurate and was all too aware of the mortal dangers of fuel imbalance on the type...
A high rotational on each SCT - that really is taking things 'seriously'.
I greatly lament the fact that the PPL now includes nothing about spinning. When I say nothing I mean that from my experience the spin awareness consists of nothing more than the FI's at many clubs/schools muttering something about not using the rudder during stalls. If it were a requirment to be at least demo'd a, say, 3 rotation spin then I think a much more healthy respect would be fostered amongst new PPL holders and an occasional greater degree of professional preparation amongst FI's would be evident.
