It's A Delicate Matter -- Requiring Careful Planning And Just A
Little Chutzpah
When folks like us hop into our Cessnas or Pipers or Grummans
for a jaunt, fuel management is, of course, a major consideration.
How far, how high, with what winds and at what temperatures --
these are all things we have to consider before we undertake a
flight of as little as an hour. But imagine being on an
around-the-world record attempt that will last more than 70 hours
without the prospect of refueling. Can you imagine the nightmare
fuel management would become on that flight?
