148 u/that_dutch_dude 26d ago dude might want to add "check fuel" to that list. video is around for a while, he ran out of fuel. 49 u/VanillaGorilla59 26d ago Really?!?! That’s on preflight check where I come from… 10 u/bigolchimneypipe 26d ago That's something I do every time in every car I ever drive so i cant even imagine forgetting to do that in an airplane. 10 u/tectoniclakes 26d ago The issue isn’t forgetting it as such. In most of these light aircraft, the fuel gauges do not work or are not reliable. You have to use a “dip stick” on both the fuel tanks to get the actual fuel. A step that some pilots simply skip
