Cool

Airbus guaranteed that the fuel could not be trapped in the stab tank of the A300-600R or A310-200 series. It had the same logic as the A340 in controlling it, and should have drained by gravity to the centre tank if there was a system failure. There were however documented failures where fuel was trapped in the stab. This results in aft CG landings and an emergency fuel state.
