Exclamation Fuel burn!!

1, When checking fuel burn, trust your stopwatch more than your fuel gauge.

2, Treat the "low fuel" warning light as a "land now" light. Especially if it is unexpected. Just because you should still have fuel, does not mean you really do!!!

Note:
-Explaining to the boss why you landed with a low fuel light is much easier than explaining why you had to auto with no fuel!!

3, The Fuel you left in the tanker is as useless as the survival kit you left in the crew room, and that flight following you could not bother to arrange.
