here you see the landing fees and the steps in mtow

In fact, many many airports and airfields in Germany have a (fee-related) “step” at the 1.4 ton point.

That 1.5 ton threshold is mostly only relevant in the UK. In Italy (and most of France), they really only use full tons to define these steps.

Finally…, after a too long time, she is back in the air, with a revised instrument panel and other improvements…

@Bosco was this sample for sale around ten years ago?

That’s very nice indeed. Shows what you can do with an old Bo. How does she fly?

Pretty nice. See post #1. you really need to understand the fuel system though. Can‘t say it often enough.

As an old lady, she requires quite a bit of TLC, but after she gets that, she is always a great pleasure to fly…

Very true.

So what is the fuel use schedule then? You start off with the Left Main to make space for the return fuel, then what to continue with? Is there a standard procedure?

You mean when all the wing tanks are full and you are going on a long flight. Well, then

  • you take off on the left main,
  • fly for about 1 hour out of that tank,
  • then switch to aux and fly it until the auxes run (almost) dry. This takes roughly 48 minutes at normal cruise, during which time, about 10 gallons from the auxes are burnt and the other 10 gallons are fed back to the left main. Then, you have flown for almost 2 hours and have the right main still full and the left main still almost full. Then,
  • you fly on the mains for the remainder of the flight, switching them every 30 minutes or so to keep the aircraft in balance, much like in any other low wing aircraft with just two tanks.

This is not taking into consideration the tip tanks, which I still have not used.
