100% totally avoidable. We all have a clock on board. I always take on gel in minutes not lbs. We also use our ground crews to help us with fuel management. "Hey man, call me in 40 mins if I'm not on my way back for fuel. Set you alarm now".
I know most skid transfer accidents are pilot error. HEC has it's efficiencies and place and isn't going away anytime soon.
