And did you rely on the other fuel gauges to determine how much fuel you considered was remaining in the tanks?
The ATSB reports are not written for pilots but for the "man on the Clapham omnibus" Literacy skills are not that good in society genarally so the report serves its purpose. Even newspapers are written for the reading ability of a 12 year old. If the message of the report was to inform Joe average that pilots should be certain of how much fuel is in the fuel tanks instead of assuming how much there is, then job done from what I can tell. All the other discussion on the number of times the word pilot appears is just intellectual pontificating!
