Re: Fuel Reserve for Microlights?

As Morph says it is all about planning. I have not heard of anyone actualy being inspected on how much fuel they have when they land but while saying that I have heard of more and more people that have had the CAA trained police inspect them for other things.

Fuel Reserve for Microlights?
