On behalf of Expert Village my name is Rodney Fielitz I'm a certified flight instructor
in Cottonwood, AZ and I'm here to give you the basics of what it takes to become a pilot.
The next chapter in our manual that we have it talks about the fuel systems this is the
most critical part of the airplane; without fuel you don't fly. So fuel management is
everything on an airplane every airplane is different but this airplane will tell you
actually how much fuel is in the airplane, how much it's going to burn an hour and this
is just an estimate because every time you fly you want to take your time, and then when
you fill the plane up and then you keep records of it. That way you know exactly what its
field and it also tells you how much fuel is in each tank this particular airplane it
carries 18 gallons of fuel of each side. Some of this fuel is not usable it will explain
to you also and then it has the diagram of the fuel system which it will show you how
the fuel works in a high wind airplane, the fuel will be on the gravity feed system. In
a low end airplane the fuel has to have a manual, a fuel pump and an electric fuel pump
to get to the fuel engine.
