corn_flake Posted November 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 I see it now. I was reading the top numbers as if 108 was the equivalent of full of unknown scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 When it comes to WnB issues... in flight. It is good to have LBs in mind... unlike Brand B, Mooneys don’t typically fall outside the envelope while burning off fuel... Since the floats are technically measuring volume... Pounds probably don’t make a very good indication... The place to find the answer... the POH... all the stuff printed on the instrument panel gets explained in the POH... instrument markings are probably in the limitations section... as a reading of zero can be a real limitation... Find the most recent POH for your plane to see what is in that section... .m20Es got their data updated each year or so in the age of the POH... Keep in mind the gauge clearly says right on it... LBS fuel quantity... somebody got artistic when distributing the numbers around with the letters E&F... PP thoughts only, not a CFI...
