Anyone know where the AN-12 fuel pickup point is in the tanks?
Normally, fuel pickups permit consuming the last of the fuel while flying in a nose up (ie landing) attitude but not necessarily in a nose down attitude. Dropping the flaps at the upper end of the allowed airspeed range while light on fuel could conceivably un-port the fuel pickups at a very inconvenient time.
