"Tanks on both" checklist item
Good day all,
With regards to fuel tanks in a C172, why does the takeoff and landing checklists both call for the fuel selector handle to be in the "both tanks" position? The only time that fuel is set to one particular tank is on the ground. I've never used fuel from only one tank in flight. Why would someone do that? Also, why is the fuel selector set to one tank during refueling? Is it to minimize crossfeeding? Thanks, Alex
