Thanks for this. I would certainly not want to be in this position if it was fogged in and didnt have fuel in my tanks.

As a matter or course, I always go to full tanks to the brim (182 Litres in the PA28) subject to mass and balance before any long journey.

So if its 1 hour flight to Compton at 32 Litres an hour I would claim the drawback on 150 litres? or must I uplift fuel at compton back to full tanks?

I'll look it up anyway and also refamiliarise myself with SVFR in case needed.

Thanks
