SS - how about just answering my question?!
Lots of demands that I answer questions, but none of mine get answered
SS - so you're 2 miles from the base, daytime, weather's fine. You've just hit 70kg to go, and you know you can be on the ground in 2 minutes. You also know your red low fuel warning light has not yet come on, which it should at 60kg, when the book says you must land within another 8 minutes. Are you really going to park it in that muddy field - or continue land with the 64kg you've worked out? How about you SAS?
Let's sort this question out;
Red low fuel warning should be expected to come on at approx 24 kgs per tank (48 kgs total), not 60 kgs.
At that point I have to land within 10 minutes, not 8 minutes.
At 68 kgs I would expect the Fuel caution to come on, which means that I have to '
land as soon as practicable', which in this scenario, would be back at base.
Right then, now that's been tidied up ...
Where have I come from to find myself in this predicament?
