Whats the capacity of the main tanks?
46 gals on each wing side (92 gallons total usable fuel).
At, let's say, 180kts and 16 gallons per hour fuel consumption, the max endurance is 5.5hrs of flight.
The plane ditched into the ocean at 253nm to PHOG.
The way i read it the fuel was in the ferry tank and couldn't be used. And the mains empty.
Well, that can't be the case. The fuel in the wing tanks must have been empty already, at least 4-5 hours before ditching into the ocean.
