There is no mention that a fuel gauge reading 1/2 or 1/4 for an empty tank is outside the tolerance error on the gauges.

Is this really a requirement? Most planes I trained in were at least that bad, and IIRC G-OMAR was a pretty old plane.

On the one hand people are going over these "details", on the other all this is standard practice in the business...
