Hawker Hunter fuel transfer
For anyone interested in the fuel management system for the Hunter, it is cited in the NTSB report of a Hunter that crashed on approach to MHT in 1998. The report also cites a paragraph from the Pilot's Manual documenting conditions where the fuel gauges do not read accurately. Probable cause was "Fuel exhaustion, resulting from the pilot's reliance on an inaccurate fuel quantity indicating system." Though there was no post-crash fire, there was fuel in the wing tanks - the fuselage tanks were empty.
There is still a company (ATAC) in the US that flies the Hunter for military training purposes. They've suffered the loss of two, one in 2012 and one in 2014 both on approach to Pt. Mugu NAS after returning from flights. Both crashed on approach in nearly the same location and both had post-crash fires with one pilot reporting a fuel transfer problem prior to crash. No final reports for these last two yet.
Any former Hunter pilots out there that can comment on the fuel management system?
