longer than 30 minutes). Calculate the fuel flows from the FL-1 displayed fuel level and compare
them with your charts of measured and published fuel flows for the aircraft. If there is a discrep-
ancy, land the aircraft at the nearest airport and verify the fuel level. Discrepancies should be taken
seriously.
