it would just B nice to see how much fuel is in fuel tanks.to B
safe.very hard to see fuel in tanks.with sun light etc.on them.yes I do
a pre flight.but I do not want to run out of fuel either just because I
can not see how much fuel is in tanks.I would hate to put her down some
where.just because of a miss jugement in fuel.or worst.there s been alot
of planes go down because of no fuel in tanks.and I do not want to B one
of thoese pilots.I want to B a safe pilot. thanks Steve Shinabery 554KF

Yes but you never know if you're going to encounter higher head winds than you expected. With a long cross country in a 95 knt airplane, a little bit of extra head wind can make a huge difference in your range. Cross checking my actual position and actual fuel level against the flight plan was part of my training.
