Didn't an aircraft carrying fuel containers to outback destinations recently go missing? Not pre-empting the reasons but it really doesn't sound like the safest way to carry fuel. DGR's are there for a reason, the category of operation doesn't make it safer(or more dangerous). I guess you could argue legalities till the cows come home, unless it's daylight savings of course
, at the end of the day do you think it is the safest option?
As an aside, if you are a commercial pilot, who has DGA, are you bound by these regs even if on a private flight?
And FDTK, havent empty fuel tanks alledgedly exploded due to the high vapour/low ignition theory? Hope you gave it a good clean out.
