Fuel tank balance
Is there any reason to drain fuel tanks in any way other than
symmetrically in normal flight? I notice that most aircraft have complex controls for fuel flow from the tanks, and I wonder if there are things one is suppposed to do during normal flight, or if this is just to provide for possible equipment failures or a need to shift the center of gravity of the aircraft in an emergency. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
