bonanza fuel best practices
-
Additionally, is there a fuel tank selector that I just can't seem to find in the plane?
@micstatic Fuel tank selector is on the floor just in front of the pilot's seat. Just move forward a bit and view downward.

hello. just flying the turbine and can't seem to figure out how to transfer fuel from tank to tank. Any pointers on this? thanks.
@micstatic My understanding (maybe I am wrong) is that fuel transfer only pertains to Bonanza's with tip tanks installed, to transfer from the tip tanks. But that Bonanza's don't have main to main tank transfer capability.

So if you are flying the turbine bonanza for example. How do you ensure the 2nd tank gets used?
@micstatic The checklists include switching to the tank with the most fuel, at various stages of flight. So it is a manual process, maximum of 15 gal difference is also stated.
