Many thanks for sorting out my understanding of the 14 days nightmare, with the word "filled" being the operative word. It would explain things a bit better.

Does that aircraft's particular Tech Log state,
FOB includes "unusable". Or does it state clearly anywhere, "enter only usable fuel" or words to that effect ?

To me, FOB is exactly that..........pilots are expected to know what's "unusable".

Any PIC, on any aircraft, knows even with FULL tanks not all of it will be employable for powering the machine.

Cheers
