No no no no no no no

There are so many people making incorrect assumptions here about the fuel system.

I have 3000 hours on type, the majority being night police. I cycled the switches on hundreds of occasions, it's NOT complicated or dangerous. There SHOULD be plenty of clues well before things get dangerous. There are two pumps to allow for different attitudes and flaring on landing has zero effect because the fuel is in the supplies.

Really, it's not that complicated or terrible as long as the gauges are not stuck on full of course
