Fuel interuption
With 4 pax what fuel load at takeoff was possible within mtow?
What fuel remained at the approach to the field ?
The Al2 flight manual proposes a cautious, flat, approach profile to the hover when remaining fuel is low. (Low fuel warning light at 60 litres)
An Al2 with square tank has the fuel pump /pick-up at the front of tank, during a noise high manoeuvre the possible loss of stable fuel feed/pressure (potentially at a point of high fuel demand) could contribute to a pilots challenge.
Did the tank remain intact ? What fuel remained ?
Could an untimely (brief) power fluctuation, if one occurred, have contributed ?
